Thanksgiving!
12 years ago
Today is Thanksgiving and we all know what that means! Turkey! Juuuuust kidding.
The irony is that I can’t eat turkey and most foods, so the food side of this holiday is rather meaningless to me. But, although that’s what this holiday is known for, it’s not what it’s about. Turkeys and banquets could have been non-existent and there would still be a Thanksgiving holiday. Don’t take this holiday for granted!
The ritual of hanging out with family that I don’t normally see is refreshing (although stressful for me). I find that that is something I’m thankful for. Although I am thankful every second of my life for the things below, Thanksgiving is the one time a year where I openly try to list all of it. I still miss plenty of things.
I have a rather long list of things I can go through, so I suppose I’ll start listing them:
First off, I am utterly grateful to have a truly loving and saving Father, the rescuer of the unworthy.
I am thankful that I get to spend time with my family, and that my family has been good to me.
I am thankful that I have had the opportunities to go on charity events, do volunteer work, go on mission trips, and be able to talk about God with my friends.
I am thankful that I have the opportunity to go to college and learn, and in my independent studies, learn the nature of God and his rule.
I am thankful that God has changed me away from my sinful past. Along the same line of thinking, I am thankful that God has graced me with the Liberty that He has imparted unto me.
I am thankful I am given the opportunity, in the future, to have an impact and reach, and to have been given the tools to help those in need in the future.
I am thankful that God granted me the affinity for code and coding, and that He has given me the opportunity to learn more about it.
I am thankful for all of my friends who have been there for me and who have helped me through my struggles.
I am thankful that God has given us the ability to love and form relationships of many kinds.
And on the more peripheral side:
I am thankful for the creativity that God has given us, and the creative expression of music, art, literature, and any of our own interaction.
I am thankful for all the items/possessions I have and that they are constructive and help me on with my outreach and knowledge
Most importantly I am thankful for the Saving Grace of our Father and that He has given the opportunity to make changes in the lives of those who are close to me.
Today will be a long day, and I will be away from my computer for a good portion of the day, my friends. Hopefully, I’ll see you all soon enough.

You're an amazing friend and I'm so glad to have met you. You make my days so much better. :3
