When i saw this for the first time it made me SMILE and cry! and of course made me think of what i am thankful for! I think this video is so amazing because not only should we be thankful for the things that make us happy, but also the things that make our life hard; because it is through these things that we grow,change,become stronger and become more like christ.I love when people are thankful for SIMPLE things, not the usual answers but things that we forget about but couldn't go on without, or make our life's sweet! so here are the things i am SO THANKFUL for and i challenge everybody to make a list this thanksgiving (and keep It for years to come).
