There's something about this particular holiday that always seems to get me in all smiles (and it's not because of the random couple of days off of school - although that always seemed to help). Spending a whole day with family, eating some of the best food you could eat all year, and dwelling on all the blessings and thankfulness that we so readily forget is a great way to spend a day.
I can't help but think of all the things I'm thankful for. The holiday is instilled in me, even if we don't celebrate it in Indonesia. I want to share some of the awesome blessings that I am thankful for.
- My family - they bring so much laughter and encouragement to my life.
- Having a job that I love doing, especially with the tough economic times.
- The military who defend our country and sacrifice their time, talents, and lives for us.
- My brother Brad coming home safely from Afghanistan.
- Modern medicine that allows my Grandma to fight against cancer.
- Jesus dying on the cross and giving me the ultimate gift: salvation and eternal life with HIM.
