Giving Thanks.

In honor of the upcoming holiday, I decided I’d write a post about what I’m thankful for.

God’s beauty. It’s overwhelming and it’s everywhere. The world is just a drop in the ocean of his awesomeness, and I only see a fraction of it. But it’s enough to keep me going for a lifetime.

Chuck. His love mirrors God’s, and it frees me to be who I was made to be.

Family. If you’re lucky, they teach you about God. Mine did.

My church. Looking back the past couple years I can see that I’ve changed for the better in some areas, and some of those areas are a direct result of being in a good church community. I’ve never experienced that before.

Am I starting to sound too spiritual? Here’s a quicker list.

I could go on for a very long time. Maybe I’ll write some more soon. But there’s my list for now. Now write your own! :)
