It should go without saying that I am thankful, but then again sometimes it should go with saying that I am thankful and just what I am thankful for. I find it healthy to verbalize these things and to give thanks to God for the rich blessings He has given me.
So today I made a short list of some of the things I am thankful for:
First off I am thankful for my Savior Jesus who came to this earth as a man, lived a perfect life as an example for me, and then sacrificed His life for my salvation.
To be able to see the variety of God’s wonderful creation and all the beautiful places I have been fortunate enough to visit.
To be able to tell my family “I love you” to their face, and be so open to them. Also for the great family that surrounds me.
Friends who are truly friends no matter what, and will be there for me under any circumstance. I count just a few people in the world with this description. I also love it when I can call one of these guys up after a long break from seeing each other and start off cutting up like we just spoke yesterday.
The special friends who showed me what it was like to follow Jesus at an early age, and those who still do it today.
Those people who tell me they are thankful for me.
The mistakes I have made – now that they are behind me. I have learned so much from them and they have formed me to be the man I am today.
The gifts and talents God has blessed me with and the times I am fortunate enough to use them.
I hope you will take some time today to give thanks for the blessings in your life as well.
Happy Thanksgiving yall!
