Thanksgiving

Another holiday come and almost gone. As I think about Thankgiving, I remember celebrating it as a kid with my family in Chicago. The holiday was always abou seeing grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. Since High school started, thanksgiving wasn't really something that was celebrated much other than getting off school. So here I am today on another holiday. I ended up at my dad's for some good food. It was definately a good meal. So as I sit now, thinking about the next celebrations (my bday and Christmas), I am trying to figure out what is the point of today. I know it is an American holiday, but Thanksgiving. What does this holiday mean in my life? Nothing really, these past few years at least. But being a Christian, giving thanks is an important part of the Christian walk. So I wanted to make a list of things I am thankful for... (and there are many more things besides just this list)

*All my friends and family
*The sacrifice of Christ that keeps me going each day
*Opportunities to travel and share my faith
*People who support me in what I do
*A great education
*A cute white Kitty named Charlie!
*Cute kids to play with
*many more things, but I am getting really tired.....

And I am petting a cute kitty!

I want to put more pictures sometime...so hopefully I will have time to put some more up soon!!!!
