I know I’m a bit late, but if the retail world can make a weekend of sales and shopping then I can make a weekend of Thanksgiving right?

So Josh and I laugh at the people who every year are like, “WHAT?! I can’t believe Walmart had Christmas stuff out already!” As if it’s coming out sooner every year or something. They probably went in to a conniption last year too. They almost make it a religious thing. Those are probably the same people that complain about Christmas being so much bigger of a holiday than Thanksgiving and say that we don’t even get to celebrate Thanksgiving because of Christmas.

Actually we do get to celebrate Thanksgiving because of Christmas. Without Christmas, Thanksgiving would be meaningless.

So since I was one the unholy people on Facebook who didn’t do the “Day __ I’m thankful for” thing, here’s my list. Because I am thankful.

For Christmas and the beautiful hope of which it reminds us and for the amazing relationship we have with Jesus because He came.

For Josh, because he is the most important person to me. I love him so much and he is just what I need.

For a family that pointed me to God in the beginning and continues to encourage me in my walk with God.

For music because it makes life so much fuller

For the ability to read, think, reason, and learn.

For relationships

For beautiful clothes because I love them so

For in-laws that I like

For food….so good

For movies

For all the extra pleasures in life and the wants that God supplies us.

For personality and expression

For humor and laughter

For the fact that list could go on and on and on...

For the fact that this list could list only ‘Jesus’ and still be just as complete
