I took my good fortune for granted for a long time, and I’m finally starting to realize what is important. We all have SO much, much more than we realize. This year Thanksgiving will not be about the turkey, the centerpiece, the china or the silver.
I will sit at the table today, bow my head and say a heartfelt prayer of thanks for the food I receive. When I tuck my children into bed tonight, I will thank God for these miracles and for the roof over their heads. I will tell my husband I am so grateful for this marriage.
I will call my parents and my brother and tell them that they are without a doubt the best parents and brother a girl could ever have. I will hug my friends and family and let them know that there is no way I could ever make it without them.
