Thanksgiving!

It's that time of the year. One of the BEST holidays America has to offer. Don't you think? I mean an entire day to ponder what your blessings are. To spend with your amazing family, to eat really great food and to offer thanks to the maker of the universe who sent His son to die for us, just because He loves us that much!

I am so thankful for my blessings, but I will be honest, sometimes I don't focus on them like I should.

I mean, I am so blessed. Overwhelmingly so....

So it just seems right to stop at least one day a year and list your blessings and then pray to God, thanking Him for all He has given you...
