We all have something to be thankful for. I am thankful for the Hayes Center football season. They are playing for state championship Monday and whether they win or lose, they have played wonderfully. It has been great to watch them and to see them give thanks, kneeling on the field after each game. It has been good to see Matt involved in the school and the team! I am thankful for Matt and for the young man he is becoming.
I am also thankful for Peter and the young man he is becoming. He is making good decisions about his life and his future. It's not easy in this world today and it does my heart good to see them all changing and growing in a good direction.
I am thankful for Jenn. She has been growing and changing, not always easily, but she has goals and is not afraid to go for them. She has a vision for her life and (with God, I hope and pray) is following those visions and dreams.
I am thankful for friends. They laugh with you, cry with you, pray with and for you, pick you up, raise your spirits, keep you grounded, tell you what you need to hear, stand beside you. Friends are a gift from God.
I am thankful for my church. It's where I go to learn, fellowship, worship and teach. It's where I gather with my church family and get re-energized with God's Holy Spirit and love shown through all there.
I am so thankful for my God. He sent His Son to die for me when I SO don't deserve it. But that's the joy of Him. None of us deserve it, but He did it anyway because He loves us that much! It's hard to comprehend that kind of love but it's not hard to be thankful for it!
Basically I am thankful for family, friends, church, church family and God! With these things, who wouldn't be thankful!!
