Not enough room...

And I don't mean for more turkey and dressing! (although that is true as well!) What I mean is there is not enough room here on this screen to list all that I am thankful for today as I look back on this Thanksgiving Day. It is so incredibly easy to get caught up in the everyday chaos of life, raising two toddlers, managing two strangely difficult work schedules, running our corporation on the computer, and finding time for family time in the midst. On a daily basis, it is so easy to forget all that I have to be thankful for. Sure, I thank God for it at night when I pray. But, really do I always list every single thing every night? Of course not. Why you ask? It is not because I don't care to. It is because to be perfectly honest, I have too much to thank Him for. He has been so good to me, right from the start. Right from the beginning on March 9, 1979. Really during all my 29 years what do I truly have to complain about? Absolutely nothing. As my eyes well up with tears now, I stop to wonder what I am sure alot of us wonder. Why me? Why did He choose me to be so good to? It often hurts to think about how much He loves us. How can that be possible? To be loved by anyone that much? Well, He does. And, if you have any doubt about that, I urge you to seek Him this Thanksgiving. If your list of "what you have to be thankful for" is a laundry list like mine, stop and think. Someone gave all that to you. You surely didn't get it or do it all alone. Thank you, Lord. And, Happy Thanksgiving.
