give thanks

Today is a day of reflection and giving thanks, however we should not limit giving thanks to just one day- we should to it all year long.

I have so much to be thankful for...

My savior, Jesus Christ- Without His grace, I would not be half the person I am today. I give my Lord my all.

My mother- She is a single parent raising two children on one salary, without any child support. She has done an excellent job, if I say so myself, even though she doesn't believe it at times. Thank your mommies today.

My grandparents- Without the help of my mom's parents, I don't think we would have made it. They both assisted in raising us, since our father isn't around. My grandpa fixes anything that needs to be fixed and helps mom keep her finances on track... and he's really awesome.  My grandma was our primary babysitter when Jace and I were younger.She taught me how to cook and I get my cleanliness from her.

Sage- My puppy brings me so much joy. On my worst day, she can wag her tail at me, and I am instantly cheered.

My beautiful friends- They lift me up when I'm down, can put a smile on my face on the darkest of days, and are overall fantastic. I love each and every one of you. <3

The chance to earn a college education- I do have taken out loans, and I'm probably going to be in debt a while after I graduate, but at least I'm getting a degree. At least I have the resources and am getting the opportunity. I get to choose my future, and I am so grateful for that.

Passions and dreams to live out- There is so much I want to do with my future. So many passions and dreams I want to pursue. Some of them may not come true, but I'm able to dream. I have the opportunity to dream and wish.
