... for my Savior who paid the price for sin, though he himself was perfect.
... that God saw fit for me to be born into a country of freedom so that I am able to serve him freely.
... for my God fearing parents who have raised me to know him, love him, and to serve him.
... for a wonderful husband who loves God and me.
... for friends and family who are faithful prayer warriors.
...for God's word that he has chosen to give to us in order that we might have a glimpse of who he is.
...for the luxuries that I have been blessed with, but are in no way necessary.
My list could go on forever and it really should. I should have a running stream of thankfulness directed towards my God, every single day. Thanksgiving seems to be our annual reminder that we have so much to be thankful for. Its too bad the thankfulness bug doesn't live year round.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Steven and I got up and went down town to see Chicago's Thanksgiving Day Parade (which we have done every year that we have lived here) for the last time as Steven will be graduating in the spring. We started off with our tradition of stopping at Dunkin Donuts for some blueberry coffee. After grabbing our piping hot drinks we made our way down the road to sit on the curb to wait for the floats to come our way.
We left the parade early so we could head out to Indiana to spend Thanksgiving with some friends. It was a wonderful and relaxing day full of food and fun. We stayed the night and the next morning we ventured out to do some Black Friday shopping. It really wasn't a crazy or hectic shopping spree. We got what we wanted and had some fun while were at it!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here are a few pictures from the Thanksgiving parade:

Now on to Christmas!
