A Happy Heart of Thanksgiving

Well I've successfully eaten myself stuffed. Which if you ask me, is the tell-tell sign of a successful Thanksgiving. As sit on the couch unwinding from the day, I can't help but have one thought--'Who would have thought that so much would change in one year?' The girl who sat in there very spot exactly a year ago had so much to learn about herself. The girl who sits here today is stronger, more poised, and resting in the peace that God holds her future (even though from where she sits currently there is no evidence that it's all going to work out). So to say I have a lot to be grateful for would be a very small statement attempting to sum up an overflow of blessings.

I am thankful for my family-- the one I was born with and the one that over time and challenges turned into one.
I am thankful for my trials.
I am thankful for the sovereign God who held me through everything.
I am thankful for the strength the Lord has blessed me with.
I am thankful for the victories-- how ever small they might be.
I am thankful for the peace.
I am thankful for the laughter that creeps into your soul.
I am thankful for small moments that make life worth living.
I am thankful for the joy that God brings even on the darkest days.
I am thankful for the hope of tomorrow.
I am thankful because no matter the day, the circumstances or the struggle, even still, God. Is. STILL. Good.
I am thankful because God is faithful and life is good.
I am thankful because I am abundantly blessed.
