What Am I Thankful For?

Christmas shopping.  I’ve been at it in full force already.  Why?  Because I would really like to get it out of the way and just enjoy the season, for one.  Before Christmas gets here, there’s Black Friday Eve.  You may know it better as Thanksgiving.

I’ve watched my share of Thanksgiving specials on TV growing up.  There was a time when most of them included everyone going around the table and saying what they were thankful for.  I’ve never seen this pulled off in real life, other than a few awkward-feeling attempts.  And maybe that’s why: it feels awkward.

I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, though.  I would like to share here:

- My mom was delivered from cancer.
- New opportunities are coming my way.
- I completed eight years of employment at the same company.
- My family and I have been blessed time and time and again.
- Wonderful friends have gotten married, and two others brought a beautiful child into this world.
- I got to add “wedding DJ” to my resume.
- I’m surrounded by family and friends who love me.
- I have watched God do so much to those who mean the most to me.
- I got to see my 95-year-old great-grandmother one more time.
- As I continue to follow God, He continues to provide.
- God is forever faithful.

And most importantly, I am closer to God than I was at the beginning of the year.

I hope you find that you have a lot to be thankful for as Thursday approaches.

Happy Thanksgiving!
