Rebecca Writes

I’m thankful that “God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in [my heart] to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)” I’m thankful that one day I will see Jesus face to face. And then? “…[S]o shall [I] always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)”

I’m thankful for the hope God gives.

Today’s the day all you Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving, but there’s no turkey and stuffing or pumpkin pie at my house. Nope, we celebrated Thanksgiving back in October.

Instead of feasting, I went to the dentist. I’m thankful for two new fillings replacing two very old ones, and pretty whitish fillings instead of the ugly amalgam ones, to boot. I’m thankful for my dentist, who is gentle and not at all scary, unlike some dentists I’ve visited. Still, I’m thankful that unless something unforseen happens, I don’t have to see her again until next November.

To those for whom today is a holiday: Enjoy the meal and then tell me what you’re thankful for, okay?
