Everything.
No, that sounds cheesy. But it's true. I'm grateful for everything that God gives me, everything He's placed in my path to get me to where I am, all the people and experiences, whether they be good or bad. Because they are all from Him and all have helped me grow in Him.
Taking a pause to look at the year and all that's happened....the past few weeks have been tough on my family...we're going through some pet problems and have been kinda down in the dumps lately.
Today is the day before Thanksgiving. That means my dad took off work, we're cleaning the house like crazy, decorating, setting the table, cooking, baking, the house is full of stress and craziness, we're running around and being all around busy. Except for this moment, where my sister and dad are taking the dogs to get groomed, my mom and I just came back from the store, and she's resting.
So, while I have a break, and am sitting here gazing at my lovely Christmas tree and listening to Christmas music on the radio....I want to pinpoint a few things I am most grateful for.
1. Jesus
He's saved me, made me born again and loves me unconditionally, when all else fails, He's there for me.
2. My family
So time's are tough, we have to say goodbye when we don't want to, but we're still together, and that's what counts, right?
3. My friends
What would I do without you guys? I'd be very very lost and very very lonely. ;) I love you all so much I can't even say. Thank you for being there for me, and for being yourselves!!! I love you all!!!!!!!! XxX
4. My passions
Whether it be Viola, writing, dance, Literature, or fandoms, I'm grateful for all the things that set my soul alight with excitement! :)
I have so much more I am grateful for....but right now I have a kitchen to clean and food to help prepare. ;)
