...my following story has a slightly religious undertone, if it makes you uncomfortable you might want to hit the backbutton now (just want to be  respectful of all).

Here's a little something i'm thankful for...
...a few days ago, my daughter called from college in tears. She sounded like she was about to have a nervous breakdown. It's her last year and she was stressed beyond belief because 1) all her projects were due before the holiday 2) she "had" to do a 24 hour charity dance marathon as she signed a contract to do it 3) waitress job hours which she wont quit because she wants to "put herself through college" even though she has a college account and 4) extra peace corps volunteer hours and medical checkups and shots for overseas.

After trying to get her to quit some of her commitments, in exasperation, i finally said, "When this happens to me, i pray and ask God to give me more hours in the day as 24 is just not enough. It sounds impossible but He can do anything and has miraculously done it in the past so just have faith. I will pray too." I was so worried about her but nothing i could do.

The next day she called and said "I woke up at total peace for some reason, and went to the library to work on my biggest project. I never would have gone to the classroom but i needed something so i went. On the door was a note that said...'Computers are down so all projects are due AFTER the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays". God is good and loves us all.

I'm sure you all have something you're thankful for too. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
