Thanks and Giving

Since I will be slaving away in the kitchen tomorrow, I figured I'd better write my Thanksgiving post today.

I love Thanksgiving.

The food

The family

The laughs

The food

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Football

..and the food :]

But most importantly, I love the reason behind the holiday. Too often we get wrapped up in the world and don't stop and think about what we are really thankful for. It's too bad there is only one holiday to celebrate God's great gifts (other than Christmas, of course).

This year has particularly been one I've thought long and hard about all the blessings I receive and why. I look at all the good and positive in my life and wonder if there has been some kind of mistake. The life I have should belong to a better believer.

I'm thankful because I have been given much, whether I think I deserve it or not. God works in mysterious ways, and His blessings are life changing. He knows why He does the things He does. My goal this year is to do more thanking, and more giving. Not just once a year, but everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Enjoy this day of gluttony

I know I will
