It's that time of year again. The turkey, the fall colors, the feel that Christmas is right around the corner. Yep, thanksgiving is this week.
I guess it's been on my mind a lot this week, but I've been thinking about what I'm thankful for. So instead of making a wish list, I'm going to make a list of things I'm thankful for and why I'm thankful for them. It's a goal to be less self-centered and to be more oriented on how much I have and how much I can give.
So here's my list:
-God: For giving me the life that I have and so much more.
-My family: Being there for me and providing for me through thick and thin.
-My friends: What can I say? You guys are amazing.
-My house: It may not be a mansion, but it's enough for me.
-School: I'm given the opportunity for a free education.
-A Job: It may not be fun, but it helps.
-My Health: I'm still alive and moving, which I am incredibly thankful for.
-My Church: I love the people there and what they mean to me.
-Freedom: Most people don't fully grasp how much we're given with that.
-Traveling: I may not have seen all that I want to, but I've gotten to do some cool stuff.
So that's only ten things. Yes, I could have a lot more, and yes, I could go into specifics, but I think that will suffice for now.
