As we all go to our respective homes this Thursday, and have a large meal with our families and friends, let us remember that it is about giving thanks for what we have been given. I know from personal experience it is easy to say "yeah, but what do I have to be thankful for?" and just scoff at the whole idea. I tend to be pretty cynnical, especially when it comes to my life. I look at all the things I don't have, and do want. Then it is really easy to complain.
But I must remember that God has really given me a lot to be thankful for. From the basics (food, shelter, health) to the lavish gifts (money to go to school, good friends, and a loving family, not to mention all the travel I have been able to do in my 22 years of life).
Lets keep it real this holiday, and be thankful for what we do have, and have faith that those things we desire, if they are good, will be given to us in time.
Have a safe and joyful time of thanksgiving, and make sure to work out this weekend after the big meal.
