Being Thankful

As Thanksgiving week is almost upon us I just want to take this week to reflect on how blessed I truly am and how thankful I am for the life I have. As Americans we take for granted for what we have and what we can get. We often forget a lot of times just to say thank you to the people around us. There are so many things going on around us and we just need a moment to breathe in the fresh air HE has given us. I want to thank God for giving me life, provision, shelter, family, friends, and everything that I need to survive. I want to thank my amazing family and friends for always pushing me to become better and reminding me that I am loved and cared for. I look up to soo many people and I just want to thank you for having an impact on me. I am also thankful for the soldiers who risk their lives each day for the freedom for this country. I am thankful we can live in a someone free country because of them.  I am thankful for the laws that have been put into place to keep us safe and the bad guys off of the street. One of my friends always tells me to be safe if I am going anywhere and I can understand why. There are crazy people who do crazy things some times. I am also thankful that I have a job. I actually do like where I am working. The opportunities there to move up are increasing and my chance to shine gets even better. I am thankful that I have co-workers who encourage me and love me. Some of them have become my closest friends and I am so stinkin' grateful for a great group of ladies. I am also thankful I can learn new lessons daily. I am not perfect and I struggle with issues. The more I grow and learn, the better I know how to handle situations. I am pretty much thankful for everything in my life but, I am most thankful for Jesus and HIM dying to save me from my sins. I love HIM more than anything in this world. He is the reason that I live, move, and breathe. It is a Love that I am holding onto forever. I am thankful I have the opportunity to spread this Love to the people around me and to share how much God has come through for me. His life is an example for all of us.  If you don't know this Jesus dude you are definitely missing out on something that changed your life.

Have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving week! May Gods grace and peace be with you all!!
