Here are some things that I am so grateful for and have been so incredibly blessed with:
1. Family and Friends - I keep these hand in hand, cause most of my close and most important friends I consider family anyway. My family has always been very loving and supportive. I have been blessed enough to not have family who tears me down or makes feel like I can't do something. Some people do not have very supportive family, and I do. And I am thankful for that! My friends are the same way, very caring and supportive. I love them all!!
2. Home/food/water/electricity/etc... - Self explanatory, we would all be pretty irritated if we did not have these things for a significant amount of time. Or even a day! I am blessed to have a home and a place to unwind from the day. A place I feel the most comfortable. I am blessed to have food all day every day without even thinking about it. Like you said, I never think about the fact that I am not going to go hungry, I just know I will have food and water, not everyone can say the same. And that is sad.
3. Education - I am very thankful for my education. Even though I was never a big school person (I got sick of having to get grades from learning things. Blah.), I am extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to go to school.
4. Religious freedom - I am able to believe what I choose to believe and not be killed or imprisoned for it. And that is a huge blessing. Although, it seems like we all know that all that could change sooner rather than later. And it has changed already in some parts of the world. I don't know if our generation will be a part of it, but our freedom to worship Christ will more than likely come to an end pretty soon. But, I hope I am able to stay calm and trust God completely. No matter what happens. With God for me, who can be against me?!
5. My talent and creativity - Even though I have tons of self doubt in my abilities and over think every damned thing in my life, I am very thankful for my creativity and the way my brain works. I like thinking deeper about things, I like seeing the beauty in simple things, and I love being able to see and capture that with my camera. I still would like to continue to explore other creative mediums like painting, drawing, film, etc. I never know what I am capable of until I put my mind to it.
I thank my Lord and Savior for all of these things. And from now on I want to try to thank Him for all of these things, and anything and everything else I can think of daily. He deserves my praise and thankfulness every second of every day. Even though my thankfulness and gratitude could never be enough. Praise Gooooood!
