Give thanks to The Lord for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Psalm 118:1

| Turkey trot around Enumclaw Thanksgiving morning |
Happy Thanksgiving!
This year I am changed
I feel different than years past
I know I am different
Thankfulness floods my heart, daily
That has not always been the case
I have learned that happiness is not found in things, status or food
I have learned that the only true fulfillment is my relationship with Christ
Because of Him, I have chosen to chase my dreams over complacency
Because of Him, I have chosen to seek joy over self pity and doubt
Because of Him, I have so much HOPE about my future I get giddy
Because of Him, I have found more peace
I am Thankful
The only explanation is the fact that I have chosen to seek the Lord in my life more intentionally
I have chosen Him to lead, to guide and move in my life than ever before
I chose Him and He has provided
I am thankful
I have been so overwhelmed at times I catch myself saying "that is just crazy"
When really it is just our God being who He is
My life brings new challenges, blessings and adventures daily
Sometimes I wonder how I deserved such a blessed life
Then I remember that we don't deserve anything in this life
He graciously sacrificed for us on the cross so we can receive Him
I am thankful
God graciously gives us His Grace daily
He deeply loves and always forgives us
He wants a relationship with us still
We don't deserve, but He gives
Because that is who He is
He is worth all our praise and thankfulness
Day 28
3 Gifts in Community
1- Family
2- Friends
3- Enumclaw
I don't live there anymore
In fact, somedays I don't know if I will ever live there again
But it has my heart
It has my friends, family and memories forever
It will always be a place I call HOME
A place I come count on for support and love
