What I am thankful for

Since I wasn't around a computer at all yesterday, here is my blog on everything I am Thankful for.

First of all, I am thankful for my alsowme and wonderful and amazing family. My family is a fun one to be around, always silly, and can make my day every single day of the week. They make me smile on the good ones, and give me hugs on the bad ones. They challenge me spiritually. They make sure I do my best, and to never give up. I can not put into words what my family means to me.

Second, I am thankful for my friends. Some I have known since I was 2 years old, others I have just met a couple of months ago, and others I just know for a couple of years. But either way, I love my friends. They make me laugh, and help me when I struggle. They reminded me of the good times, and help me through the bad. They, like my family, are my four leaf clover-hard to find, and and lucky to have.

Third, I am thankful for my country. Here, we have freedom many countries still don't have today. I can get free education, I can grow-up to be what ever I want to be, I can walk trough my neighborhood without fearing for my life (though in parts of this great country, people do fear for the their lives). I don't have to cover up just because I am a girl. I can vote. I can protest if I choose so. I agree or disagree with the government. I can have my individual opinion.

Fourth, I am thankful for my troops. I do think war is a good thin-I believe that war is never, ever, on any circumstance, is a nice thing. But I support our troops, and I am thankful for them. They sacrifice, and give so much. They choose to serve their country, even if it means death. I am proud of our troops, and will always keep them in my prayers.

Fifth and most important of all, I am thankful for my God. Yes, I am a Cristian-I don't deny it. I am grateful to all the blessing God has given me-my family, my friends, my country, the troops defending my country, my church. I am thankful, so thankful that God gave His one and His only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for my sins. I am so grateful that God wants a personal relationship with me (and you too!).

So this is all I am thankful for.
