Happy Thanksgiving! Another year of turkey comas and embarrassing stories shared around the table has arrived.

2015 has been a big year for me. And although new years it still over a month off, I wanted to start my reflection a little early in honor of the Month of Gratitude.

Life throws you curves when you’re least expecting it. Whether it’s great things or terrible things, it’s never a dull moment. Still, I am thankful for every moment.

I’m thankful for the happy and sad tears I shared with my future family in the hospital. I’m thankful for the happy tears I cried in the driveway when I got engaged. I’m so thankful for God’s miracles of healing my family and drawing them closer to him spiritually and physically. I’m thankful for the endless opportunities I have been given this year from ministry to career to friendships.

“I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.” (PSALM 9:1-2)
