Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving. Normally, my very favorite holiday. But today I was plagued with the feeling that all the usual stuff I'm thankful for on this day is not nearly enough. My kids...my husband....my house....my car....my church....blah blah blah. Just seems too silly.

Some people have so little and I have so much. Some people have so much hardship and I have so little. Words fall short. My vocabulary too limited to express how truly grateful I am. My heart is full. It literally aches at times with joy and the realization that I have done nothing to deserve all this. Today is one of those days. Why was I born here, where I am free to chose? In the land of the plenty? Where everything I could ever want and need is at my fingertips? Healthy. With a loving husband. Able to have children. Healthy children.
May I never forget to be thankful. To reflect on the magnitude of the blessings in my life.
Most of all, may I always remember to whom much is given much is required.

Luke 12:48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
