Thankful

Today is Thanksgiving,
And a day to give thanks.

I am thankful for my life.
For the ability to breath.
For a body that functions and is resilient.

I am thankful for doctors.
I am thankful that I can walk and run.
I am thankful that I have one working ear.
I am thankful for my disabilities.

I am thankful for my family.
For a family that loves me no matter what,
And is there to offer support.
A family that has taught me that people are people,
And that I am to love them.

I am thankful for my education.
For parents that have given of themselves so that I could have this opportunity.
And I am thankful for the opportunities that Baylor has given me.

I am thankful for my friends.
I am thankful for the family that they create for me,
For the support,
And so I know that I am cherished and loved.

Most of all I am thankful for a God who loves me.
Who pursues after me and never lets me go.
A God who has given up everything.

There really are a multitude of things I am thankful for,
and if I were to write them all down, I would be writing all day.  Sorry folks, but I'm going to go enjoy this day that the Lord has made with my family and my puppy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
