Thanksgiving Eve Thoughts

It's been a while since I've updated my blog. I apologize. Stuff's been kind of crazy. I love Thanksgiving. It really bothers me when people forget about it and move onto Christmas. It makes since, though, if you think about it. People aren't concerned with looking at all they have and giving thanks to the Provider for the graces He has showed them. People just want to get more crap. That's upsetting to me. I refuse to be a mindless consumer. I want to truly appreciate what I have and the basis for that is me realizing that I deserve nothing but eternity in Hell. Thanks be to God, though, that I've been given the gift of salvation and have an ongoing relationship with Him. Not only that, but He's blessed me with a great family, amazing friends, food, shelter, a brain, and an extensive list of other things that I don't have room to write out. My point is, I hope that you appreciate what He's blessed you with. I hope you will live a life that is an expression of continual gratitude to the Giver of all things good.
Grace and Peace. λύτρον
