Thanksgiving.

I love thanksgiving. Since I can remember I have loved this day. It’s a day where you can really think about everything you’re thankful for. I try to always be thankful for the blessing in my life. It’s just nice to have a whole day where you can really just let your self feel thankful and blessed. I remember when I was a little I loved on thanksgiving to say all the things that I was thankful for. My favorite thing was to say I was thankful for the trees. I know this might sound silly but I remember thinking how God is so cool because if he did not make trees we would not be alive because we need the trees so that we can breathe. So I made sure to always say that I was thankful for the trees. Of course I’m still thankful for trees but while I sit here today I think more about the people in my life that I’m thankful and how blessed I am to know them. I think over my life and all the people that have come and gone and I just feel so very blessed. This year God has brought some of the most amazing people into my life. I can’t get over how blessed I have been this year with new friends. I also think a lot about my family today. How blessed I am to have them as my family. I got to talk with some of my family today, first I talked to my best friend in the whole world (my sister Deborah) It was amazing to just talk with her. Then I got to talk with my daddy who I have not talked to in so long. We talked a lot about my kids and remembered back to when I was a little girl. Talking to my family was a huge blessing to me today. While I was sitting there talking with them I just felt so happy to have them in my life. I love you guys I miss you so much and I’m soooo thankful that you are in my life Deborah, Rebecca, Kati, Mom and Daddy. God has blessed me so much with all of you.

I just love this feeling of thankfulness. I long to live in thankfulness always. I want to each day be thankful for the blessings God has given me. But more so I long to be thankful to God even when I can’t seem to see the blessing and only see the hardness of life. I’m so blessed to know God. I’m blessed that each day I can become closer to my Lord. I’m so thankful that Jesus Christ is in my life. The best thing that has even happen in my life was Jesus. He is the love of my life. He is my best friend. He is my ALL. In everything that’s gone on in my life he has always been there with me. I may have not seen him there at the times but he was there holding me walking with me teaching me. I sit here today feeling so very blessed. Blessed because I can look at the things that the Lord has done in my life and be thankful. Thank you Father so much for everything you have done in my life. For the family you gave me for the friends you gave me. Thank you so much for the children that you blessed me with here at baan num jai. Lord help me to always be thankful for your blessings. To always have joy in you. Farther bless my family and friends today. I love you Lord. AMAN
