Happy Thanksgiving
I am going against the tradition of thankfulness this year.
Everyone is always thankful for family and friends and I am as well, but this year I want to express my thankfulness to the person who shows a random act of kindness.
This is the person who goes against the norm of selfishness and thinks of someone else in an unexpected way.
I’m thankful for the person who says, “No wait, let me get that door for you. Do you need help with that?” Any random at of kindness has a way of changing a person’s life.
This is the person I am thankful this year for. Take a moment out of your day and be that person who can change the heart of a random stranger.
You never know how God is working. He could orchestrate it to where this stranger becomes a lasting friend in the end.
Consider today on this day of Thanksgiving about what random act of kindness could you do to touch someone’s life today.
Now back to tradition. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone I know and love.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
