I’m thankful for the ability to express myself through writing. I’m thankful for the people who support me. I’m thankful for health. I’m thankful for a home and bed to rest. I’m thankful for food to eat. I’m thankful for love. I’m thankful for life. I’m thankful for God, and the relationship I can have with Him through His Son. I’m thankful for freedom to worship.
