Thanksgiving & Trust!

First off HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Yesterday we had a great day, I got to be with the missionary that trained me! Today is even a better day because I am back with the missionary that I am assigned to work with right now, and it's Thanksgiving one of the best days of the year. Why do you think Thanksgiving is a great day? I love it well because there is good food, good football, great gatherings, and nobody watches their weight! However above all these great and wonderful things is the meaning of Thanksgiving and the holiday seasons. To me Thanksgiving is a time to... well give thanks. :) Give thanks to our wonderful mothers and fathers that though they may not be perfect, they are trying their hardest to be. (Mom & Dad I think y'all are as close to perfect as they come!) Give thanks to the people who give you a warm smile to spread the holiday cheer, and ultimately thanks be to God!

I have learned by serving others, over the last few years especially, that it is really God who has given us all these wonderful things to improve our lives. I have also learned that when we put our faith or full trust in him that he helps us recognize those little things in life that we truly love. I have been able to see this in my life and in those people who God has put in my path. I am so thankful that God loves me enough to put someone in my path to wave or say hi on a hard day, for him giving me things that I don't really need but that make my short stay here on earth a little more comfortable. I am so grateful that our loving Father in Heaven has given me a great family and a wonderful message to share! I am so grateful that he would give his son, Jesus Christ, to come to earth an die for our sufferings and sins so that we have someone who knows, truly knows how we feel and I know he has a plan to help everyone on earth. It's simple all we have to do is put our full trust in him, and he will do the rest! He will always, at least, send someone to cheer you up or help you out.

Are you going to be that person who will be God's servant to help someone or brighten one's day? I know after having this beautiful day of peace and rest that I will try harder to listen to him and trust him!
