Be Thankful

Be Thankful

By Rebecca U.

Hey girls! So, because I'm a Canadian, our Thanksgiving was last month. But really, this is all applying to me too, because we should be thankful all the time!! Yes, even when we are in the depths of despair, and think we have the the worst life ever! Because I can guarantee that you are much better off than a lot people. So be thankful! A few things I'm thankful for right now.

1. God! I am so thankful for God, and for the opportunity to have relationship with Him. He sent His only Son to die, so that we could have a relationship with Him. And so that one day we can go to heaven, if we accept His gift of salvation. I am so thankful for my relationship with God!

2. A warm house! I has been snowing here all day, so I am very thankful to be inside and warm as I'm typing this. 

3. Technology! This doesn't get mentioned a lot when we list what we are thankful for, but I think we are all thankful for this! Everything from laptops, to TVs, to cars. It's all technology! If we didn't have laptops, mobile devices, or WiFi connection, you wouldn't be reading this. 

4. Family! (ok, so family is mentioned on just about everyone's list, but family is important.) I can honestly say I don't have the best family. But I still love them. And they love and care for me, and I'm thankful for that.

5. Friends. Because really, friends are the best, right? They laugh with you, they cry with you. They are there for you. They are so much fun to be with!

6. Last, but most definitely not least, I'm thankful for GGFG!! I am so thankful for this website and the encouragement it brings to me, and to all of you. I love going on the forums and talking with you girls. I love writing for this website and having a part in this ministry. I am so thankful that God gave me this opportunity to be part of this amazing website! 

Happy Thanksgiving girls!! Enjoy time with family, and hopefully a good meal, but most importantly, remember to be thankful! After all, that is the real reason for Thanksgiving.
