I'm thankful for Thanksgiving
More specifically, I'm thankful for the first Thanksgiving that started as a celebration of thanks to God for his protection and provision for the Pilgrims during their first winter in the new country. I'm thankful that the tradition has stuck all these years, even though the original meaning may be lost on many. I'm thankful that the founders of our country were Christian and knew where their help came from (Psalm 121:1-2). I'm thankful that our country is rooted in Christianity, a fact that no matter how hard some people try to disguise, will still be a fact nonethless. I'm thankful for the opportunity to reflect on all the things I am thankful for.
This little, unofficial "24 Days of Thanksgiving" exercise has been really fun. This is by no means a comprehensive list, I could go on for the rest of my life and never fully enumerate my blessings. But, I think thankfulness is a lifestyle and should not be relegated to one holiday once a year. I hope that this exercise is just a springboard for an attitude of gratitude in my life! Thank you for reading along, and for those of you who participated on facebook, I hope you were all as blessed as I was by it.
