Thanksgiving…
-A day off
-Good food
-Time with family
- Black Friday
All of these can be good things, but sometimes it hard for us to celebrate because “life-happens” and we may not experience Thanksgiving the way we had hoped.
I was talking with a friend the other day on the phone. He has some serious health issues with his heart that he was telling me about. Then he said something that shocked me. He said, “I’m grateful it because it could be much worse.” He went on to share how he’s run into other people whose pain and affliction is much more severe than his.
This got me thinking…instead of focusing on what isn’t going the way I want maybe I could be thankful for what blessings I do have.
So I wanted to share a couple things I’m thankful for:
1. God didn’t leave me the way He found me (and if you know me, you should be grateful too)
2. My stunningly beautiful and amazing wife and daughters – all who make my heart smile.
3. For the friends that like me even when I’m unlikeable
4. I have a job I love
5. My basic need are met – food, shelter, and clothing
I’d love to know what you’re thankful for this Thanksgiving?
