We are so blessed, I am so blessed. I have an amazing family (as anyone who is a standard reader of this blog will hear me say quite often.) I am in good health and have a warm place to live. Not only do I have clothes on my back, but I have more clothes than I know what to do with. I have the freedom to school at home and have amazing teachers who are patient and kind. I have sweet, crazy awesome friends who are always there for me and the town where I live is beautiful. These are just some of the basic blessings that come to my mind when asked what I am thankful for. Though the may be basic and mundane. However, these things must not get forgotten in our hearts of gratitude because many are not as fortunate as I am.
At our Thanksgiving Eve service at church last night we were challenged to come up with three things we were thankful for under the categories of Body, Soul, and Spirit. Me, always being shy in groups I was trying very hard not to make eye contact with anyone. However, my Pastor is amazing and has known me since I was little and eventually called on me for the soul one. I said something I think from the above paragraph quietly and went with that. But that does not mean the impact of his message was lost or not appreciated by me. So I thought it would be fun to share mine here on the blog tonight and challenge you guys to comment yours. Just because it is almost nine on Thanksgiving night does not mean that our spirit of thankfulness should end or be forgotten. Without any further delay here are my three.
1. Body -`I am thankful that my body is healthy, strong, and the right build to do the hobby I love, Ballet. If I didn't have dance I think I would go insane.
2. Soul - I am thankful for performing opportunities. Performing in front of people and giving people a night where they can get lost in a story and forget about life really makes my soul happy and being on stage makes me happy too!
3. Spirit - I am thankful for my quiet times. Not just devotions but also just time to myself. It really does my heart good to have even just an hour to myself. Even if I am cleaning or getting things ready. Time where I have my music playing and I am writing or crafting. It recharges me.
