"What are you thankful for?"

A year ago from today- I was on a very hard diet. I could not eat gluten, corn, or dairy of any kind. When you take all of that away ...there is not much left. Also, I still didn't get much sleep.


Two years ago from today- I was in a wheelchair. I could not walk and worst of all I could not dance. I did not sleep...at all. I can't remember laughing much either. I cried myself to sleep every night. I prayed a lot.


Today-I'm dancing better than ever. I can sleep any where, any time. I can eat whatever I want to. I laugh more than I talk. I still cry, but not every night. And I still pray a lot.


Over the last few days I've been asked by a lot of different people, who have come into my life at a lot of different times- "what are you thankful for?"
I am thankful for the list of "Today - " And all of the other things I take for granted every day. I am also thankful for the first two list. It is because of those first two list that I can be truely thankful for the third one. Without them I would not be the person I am today. That is when I learned how merciful God really is. I am thankful for my family and all of the sacrifices they made/make for me. I am thankful for my friends and all of the encouragement they gave/ give me. I am thankful for my church family and all of the prayer that they prayed for me. And most of all-I am thankful for the love of my Father in heaven.
p.s. I am thankful for pie.
