With it being the Thanksgiving holiday, I've had some time to reflect what I'm thankful for.
When I was younger, when I had done a task - for example, getting a great mark in class, getting into college, cooking a great meal - my parents would praise me for accomplishing some work. I would more likely than not come back with, "Yup, we did it!"
This would obviously confuse my parent, and they would say something like "What are you talking about? It's just you."
And of course, I would feel a tiny bit of shame for saying that, and try to not speak like that ever again.
Now that I look back, I can see why I said things like that.
Yes, of course in the visible world it was just me, but in the invisible or metaphysical world, it was never only me. God was with me. From every happy, sad, joyous moment, he was with me!
My caregiver, Shelley, suggested to me that the realization I had is a lot like the poem Footprints in the Sand
This video seems to make the point that God is with you where ever you go, and how to feel eternally grateful in any situation

So, if it wasn't obvious enough -- I'm thankful that I have God in my life!
I know that I wouldn't be where I am without his presence.
