Thankfulness isn't a Turkey sidedish

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thess 5:18

Today alot of people will fall out of the everyday slump of forgetting to be thankful for all the Lord has given us. But after this day will they still continue to look at the gifts that we are given daily. I have to admit I am guilty of not always being grateful, and in fact being pretty selfish. I don't think people in our country , me included realized how blessed we are on a day to day basis. So yes, be thankful today, but after today try to fulfill God's will and give thanks in EVERY thing. Today my greatest thanks is that I am able to be with my husband for Thanksgiving. I miss my family , I of course miss the food, who doesn't miss the food! But being here with my husband eases that , and makes me thankful to have that kind of love.

Although X Box's release of Halo 2 ranks super awesomeness as a historical moment on this day I can think of one better.

11/9/1979 My husband Bright Eyes was born, and the world is so much better for it, my life is so much better for it. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving him life. I am grateful to his Mother for being the vessel that brought him into the world. I am grateful to both of his parents who raised him to be a good, caring and God fearing man. I love his siblings who have been there for him when I was not yet there to hold his hand and to comfort him in hard times. I am thankful because he is here , today he is mine to care for, and I Love him more than I could ever express on this blog. Happy Birthday Bright Eyes, I Love You So Very Much.
