Thanksgiving!

So I haven't posted in quite a while, so I thought I would write a little something about Thanksgiving. This was always a nice holiday when I would get a day off of school and get to eat too much food. It was a great day. I don't ever remember being very reflective about what I was thankful for though. So with that in mind I thought it seemed fitting to write some words of thanks.

I am thankful for having a wonderful family that supports me through the craziness that is life.

I am thankful for living in the city, despite the high crime rate and old abandoned buildings it really is a nice place to live.

I'm thankful for the being able to express myself using my voice and written words, but I'm sad that so many people are not given this opportunity.

I'm thankful for the idea of church, and a little annoyed at how it is practiced in real life.

I'm thankful for the ideas of those who came before me that make the world a better place and make for some really interesting things to read.

I'm thankful for getting in touch with old friends, and sad that I'm bad about staying in touch with them.

I'm thankful for a triune God who is our perfect example of community.

I'm thankful for farmers, who make my life easier (I don't have a green thumb, thanks mom).

And last but definitely not least, I'm thankful for marrying a wonder woman, and that she love despite all of my shortcomings!

That's all I have for now. What are you thankful for? I hope that you all have a lot to be thankful for.

Shalom,

Mark
