This is the moment! This is the day!
As Thanksgiving rounds the corner, it's important to take a moment to express gratitude. Of course I'm grateful for the break (although it gives me an elephant's weight of homework), and the dinner (although it makes me feel like an elephant), but those aren't the focus for me. As I prepare for a brief hiatus from school, I have the opportunity to pull back and see how richly my life is blessed. So many things in my life are wonderful right now. This is the perfect moment to count a few of my blessings:
1. Family. Without them in my life, I would have so little. They not only take care of many of my physical needs, but they also emotionally sustain me, feed me spiritually, and laugh at me. (With me. They laugh with me.)
2. School. Yes, I'm even grateful for homework. Indirectly. Without school, I would just be bumping around, wasting my potential and feeling unfulfilled. It's the next step in my life, and even though it fills my life full to bursting right now, I'm confident I will have a richer life later on because of it.
3. God. What else is there to say? He is everything, in every part of my life. Everything has to do with him. I would be nothing, have nothing and have no hope of anything without him.
These things combine to make a wonderful blend that is my life right now. It's a lot of work, but it is full of potential, and God has his hand in every aspect of it. This is my moment and my hour, and I'm grateful for it.
When I look back, I will always recall, moment for moment, this was the moment, the greatest moment of them all!
