the Bible

The list could go on and on with the small and big things that I’m thankful for. When I sit back and think about how blessed I am, I am blown away. The life I live is not grand but by golly it is wonderful. The fact that God chose this life for me reminds me that I can’t for one day take it for granted.

When I look at the world around me and see devastation, hunger, sadness and war it makes me wonder why I get to feel joy every day. Why I get to eat every day. Why I get to wake up most days without a tear shed, without pain felt and without feeling that I would be better off dead. So every day that I’m alive I have a duty to always look on the brighter side. To make it a habit to enjoy all that I have because one day it may be stripped from me and then I’ll wonder why thankfulness wasn’t something I felt every day.

Blog friends, I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Many of you have become true friends, people that I know that if it weren’t for distance we would be in real life friends. And for that I’m thankful. Thankful that in this crazy world I found people that I never would have met, if it weren’t for the day I decided I was bored and needed an outlet.
