So much to be thankful for

Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday. People around the world take the time to sit with one another, friends and families, share good food, great company and talk about the blessings they receive throughout the year. The only downside to Thanksgiving is that we don't give thanks all year around. Shouldn't we rejoice in our blessings and triumph through our struggles all year long? Aside from that, it truly is one of the best holidays.

And I have a lot to be thankful for. This year, I am most thankful for the relationship that I have with Jesus. This has been the first year in a long time where I've really invested in my faith and actually desired to create a deeper relationship with my Savior. I'm so thankful for my salvation and the fact that Jesus loves me so much, even though I am so unworthy.

I am thankful for my family and friends. Their love and support is what keeps me going each week. The fellowship that I have in my life with other Christians is amazing and I am so grateful for the ability to grow.

Lastly, though it may seem silly, I am thankful for the ability to run. It's really become something I love to do. Not only am I blessed to run 3-4 times a week, but I also get to share it with people whom I love. My life is blessed and I am thankful for all that I have.

I know that I may never have all I want in life, but I know God will provide me with all I need. That in itself is a blessing and reminds me to live each day thankfully.
