The one is which I discuss thankfulness.
I am thankful for so many things, and I don't think about it often enough. Once a year on Thanksgiving everyone counts their blessings. But the rest of the year, they are selfish takers, and are always complaining about not getting their fair share. I am as guilty as anyone of doing this. Being a teenager, I'm probably even more guilty of this than most. But noticing that in America, we really do have it made once a year is not enough. We should realized that every day. In february, we should give food to homeless people or people in other countries. In July, we should realize that we have families that will always be there for us. In September, we should thank God over and over for our health.
I am thankful for my salvation. My family. For my health. For the fact that I am not bad looking. For my church. For my books. And movies. My house. My bed. My computer. My music. My cell phone. My freedom. My money. My hair. For the fact that I have never known true hunger. For my education. For my intelligence. For my parents, who always tried to do their best by me. For my sister and brothers, who always stood by me. For my strong will and stubborness. For computer games. For laughing. For playing in the rain. For the the fierce love of my family. I am thankful for so many things. In two weeks, I probably won't be thankful for them. I'll probably take them for granted and even complain about how some of them are not good enough. But I am thanksful for them, and I have so much more than I could ever need. God, grant me enough provision that I will never go with out, but not so much that I will feel like I can live without you.
