Thankfulness

My challenge for myself this week is to be thankful, no matter what happens, and try to apply it to my EVERYDAY life. God gave this really great message through our youth minister, Jason, tonight and I can't help but feel like I should let everyone know how thankful I am. For I am thankful a lot of the time but sometimes I don't say I am or do it full-heartily. For the next week and even afterwards, I am telling people how thankful I am and why I am.


I know it should be something that I should have done before but never really have I been full out thankful for everything. Its a new change in my life but I'm ready for it. I've already told a few people and I feel so amazing. Not that they might have said something back or that I posted it on Face Book but I feel so great because I know that if I died tonight, they would know that I was thankful for them.


Tonight at youth group after our message, we were supposed to meet with a friend and tell them why we were thankful to God that they were in our lives. Well, this really great girl and I got together and the funny thing is that we really haven't known each other all that long. She has had a huge impact on my life but I never thought that I had impacted hers. I was told that I was outgoing and a bunch of other stuff that really opened up my heart and yes I almost cried. I don't think I'm outgoing at all and its hard for me to accept a complaint. You would never think of some of the things your friends do and its really amazing to know what they really think about you. I am truly thankful and grateful for all my many great friends and how amazing they are. I love them all so much and hope that I can be as great of a friend that they are to me.

I am also VERY,VERY grateful and VERY,VERY, MORE THAN VERY thankful that you are reading this and have become part of my life. I pray for each of you, whoever you are, every night. Thank you for reading what I write, even if its no great Shakespeare or anything. :) Thank you so very much, I really truly love who you are, even if I don't exactly know you :-)

                 I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
