oday on this 2009 thanksgiving day i spent a lot of my time thinking and asking myself a lot of questions like what exactly am i thankful for? then i started going through a list in my head and came to a conclusion that i am thankful for everything that i have. all these things i have and all these people that are in my life are gifts from god. i like to think of everything as a gift. that last breath you just took was a gift. we aren't gauranteed anything, nothing is given freely. this might sound like a harsh note. it's not meant to be. but we take a lot of things for granted. for example, we have clothes over backs a roof over our head and food on our plate. those are just simple things, when you get more specific you have ipod's, cars, laptops, etc....in proverbs 11:24 it says "One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty." i know this one of my shorter notes but be thankful for everything you have. i know i am.
P.S. i just felt the need to write this to speak my mind, and what not. this kind of goes along with the christmas deal. "christmas isn't your birthday". be happy with what you have. if you can give something instead of asking for something take advantage of it.
