This season I grateful for a multitude of things:
I am grateful for the friends I made at UD who are also my family. I appreciate the many laughs that we shared and the amount of life we have done together. There is never a dull moment with them. I am grateful for my family back at home. They have supported me in everything I do, and despite the hardships of the last couple of years, they have pushed through and it has inspired me in many ways. I am grateful for the rise and setting of the sun. Even when we do not see it in the day, to be able to wake up with breathe in my lungs is more than enough reason to have joy throughout my day.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever" - Psalm 136:1-3
These moments of the year are reminders of how God has kept me. There is a comfort in knowing this. Knowing this allows me to look forward to next year.
