Give thanks :D

thanksgiving is the perfect oppertunity for people to express what they are thankful for. But why just thanksgiving? Why arent people listing things they are thankful of all year? With so many blessings from God, we shouldnt be able to fit all of our blessings into one day. Being hypocritical, im not always thankful and most of the time im just downright ungrateful for the things i have. I forget that kids in other countries dont get a good education, a home, food, and family. So this year, and everyday after that, im going to be thankful for what God gave me. Even if i dont like it at the time.This thanksgiving, i am grateful for so many things and these are my top ten.
1. Jesus-for even considering coming down here to die for me. Doesn't that just make you all warm inside?:D
2. My parents-for dealing with all my stupid problems and being some of my best friends.
3. My sisters-even though most of the time they drive me insane, they have their good moments. :)
4. My friends-for encouraging me and staying with me this year. For being amazing because they enjoy life as much as i do.
5. My art-i have come to realize how amazing it is that i am enabled to draw God's creations with the talent he gave me. And that doesnt even mean drawing jesus, or churches, or saintly scenes, its about me doing what i love for God. and that makes me happy:D
6. Music aka my iPod-man i would die without it. Music = life and another way to express emotions and joy!
7. Books-warm fires,fuzzy blankets, hot chocolate, and a good mystery. Need i say more?
8. Style-clothes, shoes, accesories, express yourself!!! (ha the artist is peeking out)
9. Food!-thats pretty much a given. Italian, Mexican, American, French, Chinese,... I'll eat it all!!
10. My bed-hehe my lazyness very much enjoys my bed. but hey im a teenager!!i can be lazy sometimes if i want!!

Anyways thats what im thankful for this year. and the next, and everyday :D

Good list, Katherine. I'm thankful for you and your example of how the teenage years ought to be lived. So many are going about it the WRONG way. Stay in love with Jesus and He'll lead you through even the toughest (teenage) years.
