What I Am Most Thankful For

It is that time of year where families gather around to enjoy each other's company and food, but that isn't what Thanksgiving is all about.

Nov 21, 2016

As Thanksgiving approaches this week, I am starting to think of the many things I am thankful for. Of course I am thankful for family, friends, an education, and so on. What I am most thankful for is my relationship with God. Without Him, I would be completely lost. He is the one who provides for me and I can't thank Him enough for that. He gave me a wonderful family who loves me unconditionally, a wonderful support system, amazing opportunities, and so much more. Like I said, the list could go on forever!

I always hear the saying "count your blessings." I realize that when I set aside time to think of those blessings, my heart feels full and I am more thankful. As we all know, sometimes we tend to be more thankful when it is Thanksgiving and this time of year. Something that floats around in my head is, "Why can't we be thankful everyday?" Just saying a simple "thank you" to God everyday for what He does in your life is better than just waiting for a certain time in the year to give all your thanks. It is always easy to get caught up in life's moments, but it is important that you give your portion back to God.

Take time this Thanksgiving to spend time with family and friends, but also remember who you should really thank the most on a daily basis.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
