Among the busy schedules we all face and despite the daily trials and tribulations of life. We have so many things to be thankful for. For food on our tables, for the rising sun, for the song of the birds, for the air we breath, and above all, for the great love of our savior and Redeemer because it is through him that everything we are, and everything we do is possible.
This year, I had decided that we would not do anything for thanksgiving since I have been super busy with school among other things. Bryan felt the same way he is struggling at work and has been a bit discouraged. Asha and Bryce on the other hand had been looking forward to this holiday. Yet here we are, making the mashed potatoes and the turkey, the green beans and the stuffing despite the pile of notes I have to study, and the pile of laundry waiting to be washed. We realize there are so many reasons to leave other things aside for a while and focus on the important things of the moment. This holiday season we have so many reasons to kneel down in thanks for our many blessings. Here are some things that we individually and as a family are thankful for this year.
Bryan: I am thankful for Ilcy, Asha, and Bryce.
Ilcy: I am thankful for the power of prayer. I am thankful for the power of our minds to have the ability to learn so many things.
Asha: I am thankful for houses so we can have somewhere to live so we can have beds. I am thankful for this wonderful world so we can live somewhere were it's safe.
Bryce: I am thankful for Jesus because he is nice and, I am thankful for Santa because he gives us toys.
Happy Thanksgiving 2009
