In All Things Give Thanks

In all things give thanks: 

For this is the will of God, in Christ Jesus concerning you

1 Thessalonians 5:18

I am thankful for my amazing family

I am thankful for those conversations with my sister that continue late into the night

I am thankful for creative moments when exactly the right words come to mind

I am thankful for plaid flannel shirts

I am thankful for that group of crazy boys in my class whom I would never have expected to become friends with 

I am thankful for notebooks full of scribbled nothings

I am thankful for music notes as they march across the page

I am thankful for that random person who somehow brightens your day without realizing it

I am thankful for the chance to learn, but I'm also thankful for Thanksgiving break ;)

I am thankful for the girl with glasses who encouraged me to keep writing

I am thankful for those moments when God answers my prayers in the most unexpected ways

I am thankful for those texts from old friends 

I am thankful for the people that hug you back even tighter

But most of all, I am thankful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has blessed me in more ways than I could ever count

Happy Thanksgiving all!
