HELP US TO BE TRULY THANKFUL...
This weekend will mark the first time in my life that I won't be home for Thanksgiving. It is sad in some ways to miss out on spending time with the ones I love, but at the same time, it would be an unthankful spirit on my part to dwell on feelings of loneliness and seperation. It's pretty hard to choose not to thank God for all that He has done in my life. I always like to use holidays or specific dates in the year where I can guage where I was at during that time in the previous year. It's always cool to reminisce where I was at and how much God has, by His grace, allowed me to grow. Especially in this past year, I have much to be thankful for. Seeing how He has provided for me, time and again. Seeing how He carried me through certain struggles. Yes, there are still some fears and doubts, but I can be thankful for His sovereignty and His grace.
This weekend, I choose to be thankful. How could I not?
Psalm 136:1- "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever."
Amen.

Aww...thanksgiving alone? Well ummm you can always buy a turkey sandwich at Subway. Sometimes it's nice to have time to reflect alone on stuff that you are thankful for anyways though.
