give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -1st Thessalonians 5:18
You get the point. It has been on my heart this morning to start giving thanks for things more. I mean, I am SO blessed. I'm part of 5% of the wealthiest in the world (and if you're reading this, you are too.). I have two wonderful, married parents who love me and provide for me. I live in a place where I can believe what I want. Just so blessed.
So starting today, I'm going to try and show more gratitude. To my family, to my friends, but most importantly, to God. Just because He gives me SO much that I don't even recognize. Supposedly, it only takes 21 days to make something a habit, so I'm going to try and make thankfulness a habit. Maybe I'll start including a "Things I'm Thankful For" list on here... maybe.
Anyway, that's all. Now I'm off to B&N with Mr. Will to look at a Bible for Will's girlfriend, Cayla. :)
Love you guys! (I'm thankful for all of you!!)
