1 Chronicles 16:34

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

 

I'm thankful for my dad. He taught me to work hard, even though it took a while.

 I'm thankful for my mom. She's always available to give a hug, twenty-four seven.

I'm thankful for my older sister. She helped me grow a thicker skin and a tolerance for ice cubes down my back.

 I'm thankful for my best-friend-alien-sister. Nobody knows me like she does.

I'm thankful for my younger siblings. Though sometimes I plot their murder in the dark of night, I wouldn't trade them for anything else in the world.

I'm thankful for dogs. Rizzo, especially. Despite the fact that I'm usually the one to let him out, feed, and clean up the remains of his tennis balls, he's still one of my favorites.

I'm thankful for friends who could be (and should be, and totally are) family.

I'm thankful for the cat, I guess. She makes a great Frisbee.

I'm thankful for late-night jams in the living room. 

 I'm thankful for exploring by the lake.

 I'm thankful for Thor pizza. Because, seriously, that stuff is awesome.

I'm thankful for 500+ page books. I don't know what I would do with my time if they didn't exist.

I'm thankful for my softball team. There isn't another group of yellow-car-spotting, first-base-stomping, laser-tagging freaks that I would rather be with.

I'm thankful for twelve-hour rides on the boat. 

I'm thankful for goofy grins, obnoxious laughter, and all that other happy stuff.

I'm thankful for Dr. Pepper. That stuff might be bad for you, but hey, it tastes good. :)

I'm thankful for so much more, 'cause it's just a million things that I don't deserve. I don't deserve salvation. Hey, nobody does. But God gave us the opportunity to spend eternity in heaven with him, just because he loves us.
It's pretty awesome when you think about it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
