November is the month where we give thanks, it is the perfect time to share what I am most thankful for this year.
1. Family
I have an amazing family who is always there for each other no matter what. We stick together when times are hard and we lift each other up when the times are good. We often spend Friday nights having dinner together or Sundays watching football. Those are the days I cherish the most. I love to be around them because I know that no matter what they have to love me!
2. Friends
My friends don’t have to love me like my family does, but I know they do. Our relationships are at the point where they are family. If too much time passes when we don’t see each other it doesn’t matter because we can always pick up right where we left off.
3. Coffee
It is my favorite beverage and without it I couldn’t get through any of my days. I wake up and think about coffee every morning. Making it or stopping by a coffee shop to purchase it has made me late to wherever I needed to be since 2003, maybe sooner.
4. Forgivness
I am the least spiritual person in my family and it is something I constantly work on. There are people who read my parents posts and their love for the Lord radiates through them. I often take their values and try to instill them in myself and I can honestly say that it is difficult. I can catch glimpses of God working in my life, but he isn’t always present and he isn’t always the person I turn to first. That is why I am thankful for the forgiveness that God has. I am thankful to know that even in my weakest days he will be there.
5. Prayer
I may not pray every day, but there is one thing that I am certain of; my mother prays for me every day. She is my constant reminder that prayer is important. If I am struggling she asks if I have prayed and she makes sure I know she is praying for me. Those prayers hold a special kind of power.
Share your thanks this month! We all have so many things to be thankful, even the little things.
