Happy Thanksgiving

"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." ~Meister Eckhart

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I love this holiday, not only for the tremendous amount of food that i consume every year (lol) but also for the amount of time i get to spend with my family that I don't see very often. Many people have turned this holiday into an excuse to just eat a lot and watch football. Many don't treasure the time with family and realize all that they are thankful for. Every year my family gets together and has a huge feast. We cook everything that we can find that just tastes good. And we share it with all our friends. We have one upstanding tradition, we all sit down after syaing the blessing and go around the table telling what we are thankful for. I have a list of things that I am thankful for that I would like to share with you:

1. My family


2. The grace of God


3. being alive and well


4. having friends


5. my gifts that God has given me


6. clothes on my back


7. a place to live


8. an education

There are many more things that I am thankful for, but i don't want to bore you with my list :) Remember that you should always be thankful for what you have everyday, when you wake up in the morning you should thank God that you woke up .

"Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day." ~Robert Caspar Lintner
