Dear God

Why I Appreciate All You Do

106
Dear God

Dear God:

Thank You for all you do. I appreciate everything you do for me. You provide me with life. You provide me with good friends. You have blessed me with the ability to officiate the sports I love, spend time with the friends that matter, put people into my life that treats me with respect, courtesy and consideration and you bring me life.

Every single day I wake up, I am blessed, appreciative and love the life you've given me. You are good to me, surround me with good people, open my eyes to people who don't need to be in my life and give me the opportunities to experience things I would not without your blessing and your direction. You give me the opportunity to meet new people, work at a job I enjoy, have a family that cares about me and gives me options to make the choices I want to make to find the happiness that I am searching for.

I would like to say thank you, God. For giving me the courage to keep going. For giving me the strength to keep fighting. For giving me the things in life I would not have without you. And for always being there when people quit. You never fail where they do. You never leave when they do. And unlike most of your followers, I can count on you when I can't count on them.

God, you are great. You bless my life. You help me through it all. And for what you do and who you are, I am forever grateful.

Sincerely,

Me.

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
