came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the
full, till it overflows].
Thanksgiving is one day that is set apart in the year to give thanks for
the many blessings that we have received. There have been times throughout
my life that I have gotten tunnel vision. The only things that I have been
able to see is the pain and misery in my life and the lives of others.
Jesus came, that we may have and enjoy life. I look at my life and know
that I do not have everything I want, but I do have everything I need. My
house is not huge, and yet, it is so full of love, the love of my family. I
may not have a spouse, but I have so many people, family and friends that
truly love me. I may not be rich, but I have a roof over my head, clothes
to wear and food to eat. I am getting older, wake up with aches and pains
and yet I am still able to walk and do things that need to be done. I do
not have a shiny new truck, but I am thankful that mine gets me where I
need to go. I am done letting the enemy take away my joy. Today, I vow to
count my blessings everyday, give glory to God for all the He has given me,
and rejoice even more for my salvation in and through Jesus Christ.
