Thanksgiving

Every year we always have something to thank God for. It could be small and insignificant like getting a new phone or life-changing like receiving the Holy Ghost. But this year, my family and I have something we all are thankfiul for. It's the protecting hand of God. Because without it, we all would have died three months ago.

I remember being angry with God because of the condition I was in after the wreck. I had cut my chin to the bone and my jaw was broken, therefore my mouth was wired shut and I was forced into a liquid diet. And it seemed like instantly after the wreck, everybody we talked to would say, "Oh my goodness, I feel your pain. Me and my husband go into a fender bender last year."

But I learned that despite the stuff I was annoyed at, I had something major to be thankful for. I mean, if it wasn't for the hand of God, I wouldn't have had just my jaw broken. I would've been on a slab in the morgue. It's just amazing how God works.

So this Thanksgiving, I thank God for protecting us when all along when we shouldn't have made it out of the wreck alive.
