I'm Thankful For...


Last weekend our family took off to the mountains for a few days.  Even though we saw the forecast of white and cooler temperatures, we were troopers.  What started out as a ‘I’m not sure we aren’t going to freeze’ idea turned into an absolutely wonderful and relaxing weekend.
The mountains, for our entire family, is a place not only that we all crave to go to but one that relaxes and rejuvenates us.  The further west we went on Friday morning the more snow we saw along the roadside.  When we got to our destination we were snow free with the sun shining.  The entire weekend I was in absolute awe of the blessings and the opportunities I have.  Looking around at my family and the incredible mountain scenery, I couldn’t help but think how we can so easily take for granted everything that God has given us.  As our family sat around the fire having our thanksgiving barbequed salmon (didn’t want to use all the propane on a turkey, might need that for heat at night), we got in the discussion of what we are thankful for.  We live in a fast paced world.  Not enough time is given to truly relaxing and appreciating, but when you sit back and truly think about what we are so fortunate to have, how can a person not just say WOW!
