Taking up a position on the long leather couch I begin to drift off. In those fuzzy moments between consciousness and the turkey induced coma, my thoughts turn inward. I’m thinking how lucky I am. I vow to be more thankful.
More thankful for my family, my church and my nation. More thankful for the gift of health, intelligence and creativity. For clean water, air and abundant food. Thankful to have growing relationships with children I sponsor who know what it means to give thanks for their daily bread. I pray that others will choose to sponsor children in poor countries.
Thankful that my God knows me and loves me. And I am thankful to spend this day with a church family that feeds my body and my soul. I am filled.
Oh yeah, and I am thankful for the nap.
What are you thankful for?
