This thanksgiving had to be the best thanksgiving I've had in a long time! I realized that I took a lot granted, which has me to be so much grateful for the things I have in my life. My salvation, my relationship with God, my siblings and definitely my friends. I can go on and on about all that I'm thankful for, but instead I asked one of my good friends to come on my blog as a guest speaker and just share with us what she's thankful for this thanksgiving. And this is what she wrote,
"Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday of the year. There is an endless supply of delicious food, fun times with family, and most importantly we get to think of what we are thankful for. Being thankful is something that was taught to us kids from an early age but throughout our life, we tend to leave that “thankfulness” at the door. Anyways, this is what I am thankful for in 2016: My God- I am thankful for a God who is the rock during the hard times and the reason I am still breathing and living. My Parents- I am thankful for these two that have always put my needs above theirs and sacrificed so much for me and my siblings to make it in life. My Siblings- I am thankful for those 4 people that have really stood by me and loved me despite my imperfections. My Boyfriend- I am thankful for my Sweetheart for always being a godly leader and encouraging me to always serve God. Oh, yeah and for making my days brighter. My Pastors- I am thankful for my Pastors, Pastor Wives, and their families for always praying for me and loving me and being an example of faithfulness. My BestFriends- I am thankful for my Besties for always giving me advice that wasn’t what I wanted to hear but what was right! And for making me laugh and have fun memories! My Church- I am thankful for my Central Valley Baptist Church for being a bible believing, old time fashioned hymn singing, fiery preaching, and soul winning church! My Students- I am thankful for the students that always give their best and work super hard." -Anna Gaona
