So, I've been trying to do a Thankful Thursday section on my blog. In light of this Thursday being Thanksgiving, I doubt I'll have time to write and post. So, here's my pre-Thursday thankfulness...
I've already mentioned I'm thankful for Jake and my family, so today I'll share how thankful I am for my country! Most of us take for granted our incredible freedom and spend time complaining about small inconviences. But, in reality, we have very little to complain about. We have the freedom to worship our God freely. We have clean water to drink. We have the right to choose our leaders and when one is chosen we don't agree with, we get to vote someone new in four years later. Women have the right to do, say and be anything they please. Our poor have access to free healthcare. I could go on and on.....
In addition to being thankful for my country, I'm also very thankful for our soilders who fight so fearlessly for it. Regardless of your opinion on the war, we should all be thankful there are men and women (most of a very young age) that are willing to part from their families and protect our country and those weaker than themselves.
I hope everyone enjoys this Thanksgiving and remembers to tell those they appreciate the most how thankful they are for them!
