Thanksgiving is approaching quickly- and I don’t know if the word “thanksgiving” has ever been on my heart as much as it is this year. I am so thankful for the people that have surrounded me, it is amazing to me how blessed I am this year with friends and family.

I’m finding myself not as quick to complain, because every time I begin to complain, I only begin to feel selfish, not satisfied. With or without things in my life to say “I am blessed”, I have to give thanks to the Lord that wherever I am, he has been ever so present in my life, in good times and bad.

We tell our sisters and brothers when they are going through a hard time that “God is there”. Sometimes it takes saying it loud to someone else, to believe it yourself.  I whole-heartedly believe that God is with us, not just at Thanksgiving, but all year around.
