Still So Thankful

More thankful moments from my Month of Thanks!!

November 8th::  Thank the Lord for my sweet sweet sweet little brother bear.  How boring my life would be without him!  His giggles calm me down with nothing else can and his snuggles keep me going when I just wanna stay in my bed.  He is such a wonderful boy and I don't deserve him, but luckily, God let's me keep him anyway.  I miss him so much while I'm away at school.  I can't wait to see what a great guy he turns into one day.  I love you, Jess!

November 9th:  Thank God for America.  There a lot of common negative things about the United States and the people who live there, but the folks who say things like this are just forgetting that we, as Americans, are among the most fortunate people in the world!  We can not imagine what it is like to wake up in the morning and wonder if we will get any food at all to eat today.  It just isn't the life God gave us to live.  By allowing us to be born in America, God actually gave us too much and now we struggle with remembering how desperately we NEED Him to survive.  What a wonderful land God has placed me in!

November 10th:  Today I want to thank my Lord for my shelter.  There has been some small crime near my home in Searcy recently and I am so glad to have the security of a locked door.  I am able to sleep peacefully without worry, because God is kind enough to look out for me and bless me with a secure environment to live.  Also, my shelter protects me from the weather.  I don't suppose I would get very good sleep if God allowed all the rain we've had to pour into my room during the night.  I love the way God takes care of us.  He thought of every little thing.
