It's Thanksgiving week so most of us are getting excited about seeing our families and eating good food on Thursday. Hopefully we're also thinking about everything we're thankful for. Hopefully we're not just thinking about it but praying to God and telling him how thankful we are for everything he's blessed us with. We're so quick to pray when things go wrong, but we don't always pray as much as we should with thankfulness. We can use this time to focus on all of our blessings and remember where they come from.
God has blessed me and my family so much. I'm so thankful for God, his sacrifice to us, my family, friends, church family, my job, my house, and the list goes on and on. The picture is two of my favorite blessings, Jaxson and Abel. I feel thankful every time I see their smiling faces.
