It's that time of year when the kids start asking for Christmas presents, and we all start stressing about the Christmas shopping that we have yet to do. I am trying to keep a thankful attitude, but it is difficult. What's crazy is that Thanksgiving is next week! Since when does the Christmas season begin the day after Halloween?
Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday. The food is wonderful, the weather in Texas is mild, and my family is all together. As I get older, I notice that the season of giving thanks gets shorter and shorter. I am determining to be thankful this evening, and to that end, I've made a list of a few things that I am thankful for. Perhaps you'll make your own.
I am thankful for:
Four healthy children.
A husband who loves me.
Friends.
A loving church.
My parents.
My brother and his family.
My home.
My dog (read "dawg").
Difficulties and challenges.
My country.
Most of all, I am thankful that God loved me so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the Cross so that I might have everlasting life simply be believing in Him (John 3:16) and giving my life to Him.
What are you thankful for?
Blessings,
Jennifer
