My best friend from high school has been posting the most uplifting posts on facebook. Every day she posts something she is thankful for. Instead of celebrating Thanksgiving for one day, she is taking the whole month to celebrate, and it is such a beautiful, encouraging thing to see.
The Sunday before Thanksgiving, my pastor showed a video at church about giving thanks. The video said something that just slapped me; “Thanksgiving is the cure for self-pity and entitlement.”
Less than two weeks before my final exams and I find myself fighting stress, lack of sleep, and all the grumpiness that comes with that. It’s been a week since Thanksgiving and I still can’t get that quote out of my head. “Thanksgiving is the cure for self-pity and entitlement.”
So friends, today I choose to be thankful- to live with joy and gratitude for people who support me (emotionally and provisionally), for education, for the frost on the ground, for a warm house, for music, for commitment and truth, for family who will stay up every Sunday night to talk to me, and for a God who loves me. What are you thankful for?
