hopefully this isnt tooo cheesy.
so as i sit here in my cozy living room, football on the tv, the smell of turkey and stuffing filling the house, i think to myself, how TRULY blessed i am. i have WONDERFUL, caring, supportive, forgiving, loving parents that have never let me down. I have the BEST best friends anyone could ask for. I go to an incredible school where God is always present, I'm healthy as a horse, I'm doing extremely well in school, i live in a country where I can worship my Lord and Savior as I please, my roomate is an angel, my entire family is a hysterical, loving, beautiful bunch- i really could not ask for anything more.
I was extremely reminded of this on Tuesday night. I drove in from Abilene and was extremely exhausted. I really hate driving, it makes me very grumpy and i was just anxious to be home. But once i finally did get home, i called up my wonderful sweet friend sarah ann. Now, I havent seen this beautiful girl since I left in august. Thats a long
time! So she came and picked me up and we went out on a traditional coffee date, just like old times. And thats exactly what it was-- just like old times. We played Klein Choir christmas cd's and drove around town. It was WONDERFUL! and then we called up James. And he was home, so we drove by his house. And for a couple hours I just sat outside with the two greatest people I know, talking and catching up. Just like old times. It was one of the best nights ever. I am SO blessed by those two- they listen to me and support me through everything and I'm SO SO thankful for them.
So on this thanksgiving day, I have alot to be thankful for.. I'm so blessed, and I recognize that. But I do have one small pet peeve with thanksgiving. On this day, people talk about what they're thankful for. But just this day. Shouldn't we be thankful everyday? God has blessed us so all so much- on a daily basis. Shouldn't we be thankful everyday? Of course, today is a wonderful day to enjoy family, eat great food, and watch the cowboys play, so don't think that I'm dissing thanksgiving. I LOVE thanksgiving.. but I do think we should be thankful everyday. So thats what I'm gonna try and do from now on. To be thankful everyday, because I truly have SO much to be thankful for.
