Today is Thanksgiving. All around the United States, people are coming together with their families and friends to celebrate life and enjoy good food. It's a time when we can just stop and think about our lives and say, "Wow, I have so much to be thankful for. It's too bad we only get one day to enjoy it." Well, hopefully we don't say that. We should be thankful everyday for what we have. Thanksgiving Day just accentuates it and puts it in perspective, then lets us eat turkey and drink cider and have a good time. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of fellowship, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be the only day that we are thankful for the things we have. For a lot of people, Thanksgiving may just be a time to curse God for all the things they don't have. That's not the attitude we should have. At this time of year, we should be spreading the love of Christ. We should be an example to all around us. So let's talk about love and thankfulness. We'd better be grateful to God for His love to us. I'll tell you what I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for my God. You know, I think Thanksgiving day is a pretty crucial time of year. It forces us to just "Stop!!", a thing Americans don't do often, unfortunately. It tells us we have something that makes our life better on a daily basis. So when I look back and see all the car wrecks and nuclear meltdowns that happened in my life, I'm amazing that God has still directed me safe thus far. And I'm grateful. God is pretty much amazing. He gave us this day so we can remember why.
Life is like an airport. We're just sitting in the terminal, watching planes take off. Sometimes we don't take enough time to turn to the person next to us and see who it is. And when we do look, we may just figure out that they're not at all who we thought they were. And we may find them to be pleasant people. Sometimes, the ticket master will tell us that we're on the same plane. But we don't get to know that. We each have our own destination, and we're not in control.
Love God because He's worth loving and don't question why.
Look for the oceans in the stars, way up in the sky
For He is always there, peering down at us.
A loving Father, whom we must trust.

I am so glad that I looked next to me, because I seriously thought that person wasn't going to be there. I thought he was going to be in the plane...and I'd have to figure out which one he was on. God has indeed blessed me in so many ways. Thank you Lord!
It's so true, we normally don't stop and think about all that God has done for us! He is amazing.
