Happy Thanksgiving!

Yay Yay. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and what a lovely day it was indeed. Sam, Kelly, and I drove over to Lubbock to be with our relatives. Sam was very excited b/c he hadn't been there in over 7 years. We got home last night, probably a little before 9. But this blog really isn't about how I spent my thanksgiving but to say what I am thankful for.
Thank you Jesus for all that you have done for me. I look at my life and realize that it really hasn't been bad at all, it has been quite marvelous! There is so much to be thankful for.
I am saved by Christ! That is the most important thing and I don't think I could ever in my lifetime express the great blessing that it is. Jesus was crucified and washed away all sins for me. To know that as he suffered he thought of me and loved me brings me to tears. Thank you Jesus.
Secondly, I'm thankful for my family. Alot of times I grumble and complain about them, but I do love them so dearly. From my parents to my brother and sister-in-law, to my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, all the way down to my family that may not even be blood relatives. They have stood behind me through thick and thin and have never stopped loving me.
Thirdly I am so blessed with such good friends. There have been so many times when I've been so downtrodden b/c I felt that I had no one when all the time they were right there for me. It isn't the quantity of friends that a person has, but the quality in the friendship with those around you. I hope and pray that the Lord will just overly bless all my friends (and enemies) and give them the desires of their hearts.
I'm thankful for the beauty and kindness that the Lord has endowed upon me. He made me special and to this day and forever will continue to shape me and mold me. I thank Him for all the talents that he has given me, for the desire to pursue my dreams, and the strength to carry them through.
I thank God for the love I feel in my life. I have experienced such pain throughout the years but all this pain is nothing when compared to God's love. And not just His love, but the love that I will have from the 'One' He made for me. I have faith to know that that man will love me like I've never been loved before and vice versa. We will be one in Christ, our love centered on Christ, and our lives directed in the puruit of Christ.

There are many other things and people that I am thankful for.. too many to be noted. But all the same, Thank you. I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and take time to remember what this holiday season is all about. To all, A Happy Holiday and lots of love and huggles!
