Am I a grateful person or do I take things for granted?
I think I can honestly say that I am probably a thankful person.
My expression of thankfulness may not be as big or eloquent or vocal as others.
But, to truly be thankful, does my expression have to be big or vocal?
I think for some things yes and for some things no. So today I want to be very vocal on some things.
First of all, I want to thank the Lord for dying on the cross for me. My eternal destiny is sealed to Heaven because of this.
Secondly, I am thankful for my family and friends. All who have been and are currently a part of my life have sincerely been a blessing in my life. So much love, support, and encouragement cannot go unrecognized.
Thirdly, I am thankful for the privilege to serve on a foreign field. Everyday I am reminded of the great need around the world to spread the Gospel. It is so heart wrenching at times to live daily where there is so much spiritual blindness. But God has called me to shine in Argentina so that they might see Him and I consider that an honor.
This Thursday many of the missionaries here in Argentina will get together to share a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I'm taking my traditional Veg-All casserole and a dessert. I haven't decided on which dessert to make yet. I hope everyone has a moment on that day to be or talk with family and most of all take a moment to purposefully give thanks to the Lord for His goodness.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
