Blessed

So it's Thanksgiving, a holiday where we are all forced to remember how blessed we are to possessed the things that we do, and remember how grateful we should be for all of the wonderful things in our lives. But what if we have a sucky life? What is there to thank God for if it feels like waking up every morning is a dreaded thing. What do we do then? Here's the answer and if you're in this position, you're gonna hate it and not do it, but here's the answer: Thank God anyways. It's not just ignoring the bad things in life and pretending everything is perfect, it's embracing the not-so-great situations and figuring out the reason it's there and being grateful for that.

" Rejoice always, pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."  - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18



Fortunately for me, the Lord has rained multiple blessings and has made a great work in my life. I have wonderful family and friends even though there are a lot of times when they get on my nerves, or I get on theirs (mainly the latter). I have the blessing of going to a Christian school where I am surrounded by so many figures of caring, loving teachers. I've got a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear. A laptop to feed my addiction to Facebook. The ability to sing. Free healthcare.[ Gosh, it's becoming a list]. And food. We cannot forget food. So many things to be grateful for. I just love life in general. For now.
