HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
First and foremost I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving.. spending it with loved one and enjoying time and laughter together.. what else could you ask for.
A Few things I am thankful:
God - For him giving his Son to die on the cross for our sins. For his care and passion for my life. For his concern for my fears and feelings. His love that is never ending. His support when I am down. I could not thank him enough.
My Family - They are always there for me.. Through thick and thin, hard times and great times. They are the one thing besides God that will never ever leave me.. they are going to be there forever. You can choose your friends but you cannot choose your family (and I got lucky and got a pretty amazing one) Mom and Dad: Thank you for trusting me in everything I do. Thank you for setting an example of Godly parents and loving eachother enough to make me want a marriage exactly like yours. Kyle: Thank you for being you. You are an amazing brother and friend. I can never truly apologize enough for the things I put you through when you were younger.. but now that we are older and more alike.. I am truly sorry for it all (now will you please stop hurting me physically to show everyone how macho you are..lol).
My Friends - You guys are my life. You have stuck my side through it all. You are all so amazing and I dont know what in the WORLD I would do without any of you. You are all so special to me in such unique ways. Ambies: Thank you for being my other half, my inspiration my sister that I never had. Thank you for letting me be such a big part of your BEAUTIFUL daughters life. Jon: Where do I even begin for you.. THANK YOU!!! Thank you for dealing with my insanity of relationships, and giving me the most amazing guidance, and for being 100% true and honest with me about it all.. I am so lucky to have my cousin be one of my best friends. Becca: Thank you for being there for everything. I know we got blessed with this amazing frienship that isnt something that will blow out over time.. we will truly be friends forever. Domi: Thank you for being you. Thank you for setting an amazing example for me to follow on how to serve and follow God. I cant believe that from Africa we have grown the closest. I love you and cant wait to see you (1 more week!!!!) All of you and MANY others.. thank you for being who you are and letting me be who I am with you. I am beyond blessed to have some of the most amazing bunch of friends.. others should be jelouse for what I have :)
I am thankful for my house that keeps me warm and dry.
I am thankful for my full and smelly garbage cans, cause that means I have eaten well.
I am thankful for the running water in our house to keep me clean.
I am thankful for the perfectly good car I have.
I am thankful for the job I have.
I am thankful for my life, for every breath I take.
During this Holiday season I hope each and everyone of you can enjoy life and appreciate life as much as I have come to realise. It is not the material things that you have that you should be thankful for, but for the everyday, extra ordinary daily life events you should be thankful for... The red lights that we get angry at when we are in a hurry, those keep us from millions of car accidents a day... the taxes we pay; be thankful you have a job. the electricity bill; be thankful for the roof over your head.
I can go on forever, but I will come to an end. The luxuries in life may come and go, but the lasting relationships you have made with friends and family are never ending.. do not take advantage of these relationships, charish them.
Again.. Happy Thanksgiving :)
