What are you Thankful For?
By Sarah P
I never really stop and name exactly what I’m thankful for.
Sure, I say something along the lines of “thank You for this day,” or “thank
You for this food,” when I pray throughout the day, but I don't actually think about what I'm saying. Hillary
challenged all of us to write what we were thankful for this year. After a lot
of prayer, I narrowed down my list to this:
1. Jesus (shouldn't He always be at the top of our lists?).
I definitely couldn't have gone through all of the things that happened this
year without Him. Thank you, Jesus!
2. My family. We're really close! They certainly aren't
perfect, but they love me so much. It's awesome that we can worship together.
Plus, we do crazy things together (as in, going to a billion Christian
concerts, reading together, and talking in
British/Italian/Hawaiian/
3. My friends. Although they are few and far between, they
cheer me on and help me grow in my faith, whether they're close to me or hours
away. I'm so thankful for all the laughs we share, all the tears we cry
together, and all the texts, emails, and visits. I love you guys!
4. Tram. Tram is a girl that my parents and I are sponsoring
through Holt International. I'm glad we can be a part of her life, and every
update and picture we get from her is priceless. It's really amazing that I
have the privilege of being a part of her world!
Those are the things I have been most thankful for this
year. All the things I have been blessed with this year are too many to count!
God is so good to me. He deserves my gratitude and thankfulness, as always!
Like Psalm 136:26 says, we should, "Give thanks to the God of heaven. His
faithful love endures forever."
What are you thankful for?
