Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you have a wonderful holiday celebrating all God has blessed us with!
During this abnormal year I have learned that even in the midst of hardships or confusion there is still blessings to be thankful for! Here are some of the things I am most grateful for this year:
1. Hope I am so thankful for the hope I have through Christ! If it weren't for this hope, this year would have been even worse. But because of the hope Christ gives, I know that even if the world falls apart or the worst imaginable thing happens, I still have Christ. I will spend eternity in heaven worshiping Him! And that gives great hope!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not loose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2. Freedom I am thankful for the freedom our country was founded on. Freedom wasn't free. I am grateful for every person that fought for our freedoms and for those who continue to protect and fight for them! Thank you! I am truly grateful! I am grateful for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, the freedom to homeschool, etc.!
3. Family I am grateful that I have a family and that I am not alone. I have family that loves me. I am grateful for parents that care for me and raise me to know the truth! I am grateful for an older sister that is a sister, friend, and role model! And I am grateful for 6 younger sisters that I can encourage, love, and play with! God has placed me in the family I am in for a purpose! And I am glad to be in the family I am in! I am also grateful for my grandmas! And my aunts, uncles, and cousins! I love you all!💕
4. My Church I am so grateful for my church!⛪ I am grateful that the truth is preached there and that we can worship together with fellow believers! And the people there are very genuine and kind!
5. Nature/Creation I am thankful for the diverse creation God has made! All the different animals and places God created! There are birds, fish, camels, caribou, bears, dogs, turtles, etc.! There are mountains, oceans, deserts, woods, jungles, etc.! Our world is beautiful! And we have a wonderful Creator!
I hope you all have a awesome Thanksgiving and remember all your blessings!
