Thankful Thursday: Thanksgiving Edition




Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving, but too often we skip this wonderful holiday to get on to the rush of Christmas. So in honor of this forgotten holiday, I’ll slow down reflect on what I’m thankful for.

Today, I’m thankful for my family.

I’m thankful for my friends.

I’m thankful for people in my life who listen to me.

I’m thankful for a purring cat to bring me peace.

I’m thankful for a playful dog to bring me joy and happiness.

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.

    Sarah, I'm most thankful for the saving grace I experience every day. Next, for my family. My kids are happy and well adjusted young adults, and my husband and I are back where we began before they arrived. Sweet!

    Thanks, everyone!

    Great point, KiKi! When I pray, I got into the habit of thanking God before I ask Him for anything. It keeps me in check to remember my blessings and that I always have something to thank Him for!
