Sometimes I forget how truly blessed I am in life. I have the ability to want to buy a pair of shoes that kids in parts of the world need to live. Even if I have absolutely nothing in my bank account I'm still richer than most of the world because I live in America. I have a husband that God picked out for me and I could not be happier with His choice. I have parents who right now are working so hard, along with my church family, to better the life of one sweet innocent kid who just wants to go to college. I have friends who I can text at anytime with a prayer request and I know that they will stop what they are doing and pray for me.
It bothers me how ungrateful people think Americans are just because of the few they have met. It makes me almost as mad as when people have a poor judgement about me because I am a Christian because of a previous encounter with a Christian who did not act as such (that's another soap box...). I thank my God daily for what he has provided me with and what he will continue to bless me with. I will admit that sometimes I get caught up in my own agenda that I forget what blessings I have, but I do take time to stop and think about all of the wonderful things God has given me in my life.
I guess you could say this is me still being thankful after Thanksgiving. O well, I'll just be thankful all year 'round.
