What are you thankful for?

Regardless of whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, what have you got to be thankful for? I am thankful, first and foremost, for my health, and for the health and happiness of my family and friends, especially he greatest mom in the history of moms, Lisa Taylor Tardif! I am also thankful to have a place to come home to and a warm bed to sleep in every night as well as enough food to eat every day. I have a lot to be grateful for, as, I suspect, do many of us. I am especially thankful for having friends to share Thanksgiving dinner with, as it is traditionally the time of year when I am most homesick and longing to be with my own family. I am thankful for my St. Andrrew's family, both in church and MIC,. I am thankful my best friend Michael John Wood has come to visit me in Moscow and give me a much-needed lift after what has been the hardest three months of my life. I am thankful for numerous other blessings, for which I can only get down on my knees and say an extra prayer to God for His infinite blessings and constant presence in my life.I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving, wherever you may be. Go and celebrate and love and bring love to others. And of course, enjoy some yummy turkey and classic football games. What have you got to be grateful for?
