Though this day is happy because it is fun to eat turkey, potatoes, cranberries, etc., and enjoy time with family, this day is really about being thankful for God's grace and the many blessings He gives us. Pastor had an awesome sermon last night in which I was convicted of my ungratefulness. So number 1, I am thankful for Christ's death on the cross for me, and for the forgiveness and salvation I have through Him. And not only has He given me that, but He has given me so much--awesome people in my life who care for me, and whom I care for greatly, a great vocation serving in the Church, food, clothes, a wonderful place to live, and I could go on and on. I am so blessed, and I am so thankful to God for His goodness to an undeserving person like me!
What an awesome God we have! Not only does He give us forgiveness and salvation through Christ Jesus, but He also blesses us in so many different ways in our everyday lives. This blog is meant to celebrate various people, places, and things that enrich my life, bring me happiness, or make me smile. There will be a wide variety of things on here, and they are not listed in any order of importance. Some are simple pleasures; some go deeper than that. This is the stuff I dig!
