giving thanks...and catching up on sleep!

Just wanted to let ya'll know I won't be posting for the rest of this week. I will return December 1st, and I promise to have a G2G post ready! Everything's been so hectic lately I haven't even had the time to do a decent post. Uhh...sleep sounds so good right about now. I've been rushing back and forth 24/7. Between church and youth group, my home-life, my social-life, art club, academic team, basketball games, homework, and blogging, I never get to take a breather. So that's what I'm doing this week. TRY to do anyway. It won't be easy, I can tell ya that. 'Cuz I'm getting up on Black Friday to get me some good deals! :) :) But anyway, have a great Thanksgiving. Stuff your face with turkey, watch the Macy's Day Parade, and most importantly, count your blessings. And thank the One who blessed you with them.


Turkey & dressing,
anna :)

giving thanks...and giving it.

Here's a poem I wrote when I was, uh, in 6th grade I think. It's sorta cheesy, but I thought it was cute enough to post.


There's so many things I'm thankful for
It's hard to count them all
My mom, my dad, my sister, too
We're all for one and one for all

My friends come next on my long list
Of the things of thankful for
Inside jokes and lots of laughs
And hopefully many more

But there's Someone more important
Who saved me from my sin
Alpha, Omega He's always been
Jesus Christ, my very Best Friend.

And the reason I posted it, well it's the truth. I am thankful for them--and it seems like I've never had time to tell them that. There's so many more things I'm grateful for--food, clothes, a home. Millions of people around the world don't have any of these. So remember, Thanksgiving isn't about getting thanks. It's about giving it to our Savior who laid down His life for us, and always has His arms wide open.

Giving thanks for Him,
anna :)
