Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving always gets a little overlooked, in my opinion. It's right in between Halloween and Christmas, and it has no distinctive music or decor (except maybe cornucopias). And, when most people do think about Thanksgiving, it's usually about turkey, pumpkin pie, or football, if you're a guy, when, in actuality, Thanksgiving is, as its name suggests, a time to give thanks.
Here are a few things I'm thankful for.

1. Salvation
2. A loving family
3. A house (not much of one right now, thanks to our renovations)
4. Good health
5. Strange but wonderful friends
6. Teachers who actually care about their students (or are very good at faking it) :)
7. God's sovereignty
8. Fuzzy socks
9. Books
10. Ice cream!
