There are so many things in our lives to be thankful for. Today, I was reading an email from a teacher at school. The email was from an administrator at another school. The person had been working at a local church to pass out thanksgiving dinner supplies to families in need. The person stated that he was expecting people to be cheery and excited, but instead he saw his own students coming with their families to get their dinner. There heads were hung down and they were so sad. He even had a student come in by himself because his parents were too embarressed to come in.
I am thankful that God has blessed me with so much. He gave me a savior, a beautiful healthy child, family and friends, the money to have thanksgiving dinner. There are so many less fortunate than me. I had to ask myself if I saw those people who were less fortunate? Do I truly know who they are? Did I do anything to help them or to show them Christ's love? This made me realize how much I need to love my students. I am in a mission field daily. Most of my students have less than I do. Do I show them Christ's love daily? Do I do my job as when I know God is always there watching?
I have a lot to think about over this Thanksgiving. I hope that you a wonderful thanksgiving and get to spend time with your family.
