With Thankgiving coming up so soon, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on thankfulness.
It's amazing how much we take granted the things God has blessed us with and how much we selfishly want more. Ever since my accident, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude has pervaded my life. God could have taken me out of this world; I think I was very close to it. I am thankful for each breath I have and for each morning I wake up to live another day (I may not be very thankful for the actual morning sometimes... still working on that). I go to an amazing school with professors who are sincerely concerned for your well-being. I love the education and the thorough study of the Bible I get to receive. Being thankful for God's Word, I have been learning so much about myself, life, and the God who gives everything to me.
I am also SO thankful for my family, friends, and churches. Before my accident, I think I failed to show how much I love my family. I have made it a personal goal to try to show my family how much I love them. My friends have been there for me so much this semester. They give me rides, put up with my emotional breakdowns, and encourage me all the time. I don't know what I'd do without the friends I have. Currently, I attend two churches, one while at school and the other while at home. Both have amazing congregations that I prefer to call family. I have sat under amazing teachings from God's Word that not only encourage me but challenge me in my walk with Christ.
I consider myself very much blessed.
So dear readers, what are you thankful for?
