Thankful

It is so easy to forget how blessed I have been in this life so far, but today I am thankful. I'm thankful for the places that the Lord has led me. I'm thankful for the hands I've held and the smiles I've seen. I'm thankful for the names and stories I know. For the faces that give me a heart for injustice. For the dirty streets I've walked down and played duck duck goose in. I'm thankful that I've gotten to watch the sunset off the coast of Bali and Hawaii and Tijuana and Florida. That I've lived life in Knoxville and Thailand and Hong Kong. I'm thankful for the people that have walked beside me on these journeys. For the lessons I've learned and the crazy steps of faith its taken to learn them. The Lord has blessed me to see His heart around this world. Its so easy for me to forget that this is not a normal thing…I am a privileged child of God. I am privileged to know a side of His heart that not all do. I am privileged to be trusted with what He has given me. And today, as I sit in awe of Him and His plans, I am thankful.
