Just kidding.
But seriously, did y'all know that tomorrow is November 15th? November is halfway gone. Next week is Thanksgiving. Where the heck did this year go?!? The older I get, the faster each year passes. We get so caught up in the busy-ness of life, and one day seems to fade right into another.
But next week is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. The holiday that gets caught and lost between Halloween and Christmas. The holiday that serves to remind us how much we have to be thankful for.
Family, friends, a wonderful husband, a beautiful son, a roof over my head, food on my table, shoes on my feet, electricity, running water (and hot running water at that), the right to worship the one true God, Jesus my Saviour, democracy, freedom, chocolate, coffee, laughter, tears, modern medicine, the beauty of God's creation . . . without a doubt, I have been given much. I pray that I never take it for granted . . . that I always give back . . . that I always remember to be thankful . . .
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;To declare Your loving kindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands. O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep."
Psalm 92:1-5 NKJV
