For this I am Thankful

 

 Now that I have posted the obligatory food picture so that people will actually click on my blog post link, here are the things I am thankful for this year.

 

  The Grace of God and Salvation through Christ, because without Him everything else on this list would be pointless.

 



  That I am not a teenager. Hormones stink.

  For turkey.

  And leftovers.

  And siblings who smile at me until I share my leftovers with them.

  For my whole family. Kudos to this group of people for putting up with me for decades.

  That I got to go to Chicago and spend time with some amazing friends.

  That I got to volunteer at ALERT and work with a wonderful group of girls.

  That Christmas is almost here.

  For the color plaid.

  For Big Bend National Park.

  That I realized my addiction to caffeine and I now know how to compensate for it (which is basically to drink a ton of coffee).

  That for this year I have been given the good sense and the will to journal more.

  That Star Wars: The Force Awakens is coming out in less then a month.

  For Jon Foreman's incredible new EP set.

  That Andrew Peterson released a new album this year.

  And with that being said, I will leave you with this song.
