CrazyGirl observes Thanksgiving!

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. ~ Psalm 100: 4-5
Do any of us really think of Thanksgiving that way? I feel like we have all turned Thanksgiving into a day of random celebrations. "It's Thanksgiving! I'm thankful to eat a bunch of turkey!" "Hooray! Black Friday is tomorrow! I can finally get those cute boots!!" "YES! Thanksgiving! That means it's time to decorate for Christmas!" But do any of us really take the time to sit back and think about all the blessings we really have? Do we ever reflect on what we are truly thankful for? And I know there are some of you sitting there thinking "Well, DUH! I'm thankful for turkey!" But, that's not the point. I'm wondering if anyone really reflects back on the year and just starts counting their blessings one-by-one.
This year?
1. A loving family who will always be there for me♥
2. Friends I know I can count on to help me out. ♥
3. The privilege of worshipping my God without fear of going to prison for it. ♥♥
4. A chance for a higher education.
5. The beautiful weather that the fall season brings.
6. The effort to just be me that I've made over the past year.
7. The enjoyment I get out of listening to music, even though I can't carry a tune to save my life.
8. All those privileges that I take for granted everyday (like a heater, a cell phone, my own car, etc.)
9. The new friends I've made this year that make me smile when I'm with them. : )
10. A wonderful job, caring for a wonderful lady who makes me smile! ♥
There are so many other things that I'm blessed with, but if I typed them all out, no one would bother to read this post because it would be too long. . .besides, I probably wouldn't be done typing it 'til this time NEXT year. . .maybe. . .it might be longer. Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and maybe you'll find time to sit back and reflect on your blessings.
'Til next time,

CrazyGirl♥
