Thankful

So I'm sitting in my house this lovely night before thanksgiving and I'm surrounded by family I haven't seen in years and the sounds of sleepy babies and little girls playing fairies and I'm just overwhelmed at how completley blessed beyond belief I am. I'm also overwhelmed by the fact that all this blessing came from God. God who gave his son on the cross so that I can live again with him forever also gave me all of these things. I am just so undeserving but also thankful! I know its majorly cliche for me to reflect on this at thanksgiving but come on, I just can't help it. As I type this my heart is swelling with God's love. His love that gave me the sweet little baby cousins who have been smiling at me all day, and that gave me my mom who has been diligently working in the kitchen all day, and the family that encourages me in my walk with Christ constantly. It's just so awesome! I don't deserve any of this, in all actuality I deserve a far worse fate that involves a never ending thirst and burning heat and a whole other surplus of rather unplesant things but instead I get all this joy on earth AND heaven with my Abba. All I can say is it's crazy! I don't understand God's love at all but, I'll take it and praise him for it. What are you thankful for this thanksgiving? Take a minute and thank God for all you've been blessed with. If nothing else thank him for his love:) Happy Thanksgiving.
