Happy belated Thanksgiving! I know this is kind of cheesey, but I wanted to share what I am thankful for. This list just kind of flowed out of me, so there is no particular order, and there are some things not on this list that I am, of course, thankful for. Also quite a few of them are food based, more than expected, but you know how it goes.
I also wanted to share something that my leader Caleb said on Thanksgiving morning. He reminded us that even if we had nothing, we can still be thankful because our joy and peace comes from God, not our circumstances or belongings. We always have things to rejoice in because the Lord’s love for us is a million reasons to give thanks!
