So I’m sitting here with my beautiful little sister, thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for:
I am thankful that I serve an almighty God. I am thankful that no matter how much I screw up, He is right there waiting for me with open arms and unconditional love. It is such a joy to wake up every day knowing that no matter, He will always be there for me. Life without God is meaningless, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to worship Him.
I am thankful for my parents. My mother is the most beautiful and amazing woman I have ever met. She is superwoman and the most self-sacrificing person I know. She would do anything for someone in need, especially her children. I really don’t think she knows the impact she has on people’s lives. My mom has shown me what unconditional love is on an earthly level. No matter what any of my mom’s children do, she is ALWAYS there, ready and willing to be of service in any way. I am thankful for my dad and his ability to turn any situation into a joke. He has taught me how to have a sense of humor and not take life too seriously. I’m pretty sure my sarcasm came from him too ;) I’m thankful that my dad taught me to never give up and to strive for the goals I set for myself. I’d probably be a lazy quitter-of-everything if he had not instilled that in me. I am thankful for my stepmom. She has been such a good friend to me the past ten years. Even when I was a bratty teenager, she was always there to help me and listen to me when I just needed to talk. I am thankful for my stepdad. We have often butted heads, but I know that my stepdad cares about me as if I was his own child. He has helped me through so many difficult times. Although he would never admit it, I think he will be sad when I move out again!
I am thankful for all of my friends. My group of best friends are so amazing and we have fun no matter what we are doing. I have so many memories with them that I love remembering. I am also thankful for the new friendships I have of recent. I really hope to strengthen these relationships as well.
I am also thankful for the many experiences I’ve had in life, both good and bad. These experiences have caused me to mature quicker than I think I would have, and I am very grateful for that. I am thankful that I am able to attend college when so many people are not given the opportunity.
These are just some of the uncountable number of people and things that I am thankful for…
What are YOU thankful for?
