For the Gift of Life.
So, I made it to Day 25. I am glad I got the chance to do this...and I know it is something that I could do anytime of the year b/c we should be grateful all year round....but I am glad there is Thanksgiving b/c it is a great time to just really ponder on what we are grateful for. Thanksgiving is a good kick-off into Christmas as far as being grateful for what we have.
I am so grateful for the gift of life...MY life. Many times we focus on what we hate about ourselves, or why cant I be more like her/him. Why cant I look like that? Blah blah blah.... But to tell you the truth, I love my life. I love who I am (for the most part), I love where I came from, and most importantly...I am proud of who I am.
Life is a beautiful thing, and I have a good one. I get to be so many things--a wife, mother, aunt, sister, friend, cousin, grand-daughter, leader, example, and the list goes on and on. Of course there are many things I would change about myself, but there are more things that I wouldnt. So grateful for the gift my Heavenly Father has given me...and that is the gift of life...the opportunity to have a mortal body and to live in this lifetime. Grateful for the opportunity to learn things and to strive to be more like Him until I can one day, return back to live with my Heavenly Father again. What a wonderful experience and an awesome life I have. I dont think there is any greater gift out there....so ENJOY IT!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!! MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!!
