Well, it's hard to believe, but Thanksgiving break is only a few weeks away. The semester is quickly passing, and it will be over before you know it.
I LOVE THANKSGIVING! I think too many times, we rush through this holiday, in order to get to Christmas. That bothers me because I think too many of us forget to be thankful. We simply take our blessings for granted, and I think that is sad.
Thanksgiving is about stopping (at least for a moment), and thanking God for the blessings that He gives to us. We live in a country that is free. We live in beautiful houses. We have food in our pantry. We have a car in the garage. We have parents and grandparents that take care of us. Someone may be sacrificing to make sure we are getting a Christian education at Goodpasture. Although, those things are "second nature" to most of us, those things are blessings.
So, just stop for a moment, and think of ONE (yes, only one!) thing for which you are thankful this year. What is your biggest blessing? Why is that so important to you?
Mine would be my family. They are my life, and they are God's biggest blessing to me -- every day and in every way.
