Happy Thanksgiving!

There are so many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head – unlike so many in this world. Not just the typical homeless, but also victims of hurricanes, wars, and other disasters.

I'm thankful for electricity. For heat and lights. Warmth and dry clothes. Comfort. These are things that not everyone can take for granted and I'm thankful to be blessed with so much.

I'm thankful for food. I'm not a naturally skillful cook, but my family has enough food to be full and satisfied.

I'm thankful that my folks are still alive and that my family is well. I'm thankful for my sweet, loving, children.
 
I'm thankful that I was born in a free country. That I have the freedom to read any books I want to read, to talk to anyone I want, to go anywhere I want (within my financial means of course). Most of all, I'm so thankful that I'm allowed to worship God freely. That morals and religion are not forced onto me by lawmakers, but something I am allowed to choose of my own free will.

I'm thankful for God and the free gift of salvation through Jesus' sacrifice.

Happy Thanksgiving!
