thank You

i'm truly thankful for everyone and everything in my life. from the basic needs such as a home, food, clothes, and clean water. to the special people like family, friends, and my good ole' heavenly Father. and for this particular entry, i'd like to give a shout out to those whom i love so dearly.

God: i am always forever thankful for Him and my salvation. it's because of Him that i'm capable of accepting me for who i am. that i can take delight in my hardships and struggles. that i know that everything will be all right. these past couple of months, my relationship with my Father has been stronger than ever. it's been completely amazing and i pray that my faith in Him will remain strong and continue to grow.

family: dad lost his job a few months ago and mom recently got into a car accident. i must admit, this was kind of hard for me to be thankful for. but God always prevails. now that my dad is at home, he helps my mom a lot around the house. this was a man who never, ever did any household chores but rather idly sat on the couch with his eyes glued to the tv. but now he's a hardworking house-husband who knows how to make a good kimchi jjigae. haha, wow. i'm really happy and thankful that he's finally helping and appreciating my mom for all that she does. and as for my mom.. this car accident has shaken her up a bit. but, she's ok and i'm just glad it wasn't a fatal accident. and amidst all the complaints i made about her in the previous entry, i know that she just cares about me a lot. love hurts sometimes, haha :)

friends: the old and the new friends. the honest and genuine friendships. a few weeks ago, i was hurt by someone who i thought was a friend. i was pretty much wallowing in my sorrow but thankfully, i realized how ridiculous i was being. i had temporarily forgotten about the real friends that i do have and how important these brothers and sisters are in my life. i'm so, so tremendously thankful for my friends who have accepted this random and quirky girl who asks one too many questions :P

and one more thing i'm thankful for...

my blog: i'm thankful for this blog in which i can freely write about anything. but i want to give thanks to you, the reader. this might sound strange but as you read this blog, i kind of believe that you're letting a little bit of me be a part of your life. and for that, i'm very thankful :)

i hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving this year, 2009. let's not be thankful on just this one day but be thankful all year round :) happy thanksgiving!
