15. I am thankful for being born in a place where I heard the Gospel. Oh, I am so thankful. I cling to the word of God these days. I encourage you to do the same.
16. I am thankful for Jesus Culture. Go look up the song "You Won't Relent." You'll be thankful, too.
17. I am thankful for the beautiful family I was able to visit with yesterday. My mother's family in Taylorsville is so dear to my heart. Each time we gather, there is something magical about it. It isn't a forced family gathering and you can tell. Every person genuinely wants to be with the next and there's so much love you almost explode.
18. I am so, so thankful for my Granny. She's 95. She's the wisest person I know. She's the smartest person I know. She's the strongest person I know; maybe not physically, but mentally, spiritually, and lovingly, there's nobody to compare. She's our matriarch. Yesterday, as our family gathered around her, I couldn't help but to notice her beautiful smile. I only hope to be half the person she is when I'm half the age she is now.
19. I am thankful that I get to see the other side of my family on Wednesday-Friday. They live much farther away and I barely get to see them. I am so excited to spend time with them!
20. I am thankful for sweet, wonderful 9th and 10th grade girls that I spend DNOW Weekend with. Looking through the eyes I so recently had that seem so far away is so interesting. I am glad to hear their stories and lives.
21. I am thankful for another day to type what I'm thankful for. I hope you're thankful for lots of things, too. Hug somebody today, y'all.
