"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."- James 1:17
We all have so much that we take for granted. I know I do. I remember to thank God for my family, for friends all across the world, and for His love for me, but I forget to thank Him for so much. One of those things is my health. When I'm healthy, I completely take it for granted. Being healthy is "normal" for me, and I know I am blessed for that. It's only when I get sick that I remember that good health is a gift and a blessing, not a right or a state of normalcy. It shouldn't take something bad happening, like getting sick, for me to remember that health is a gift from above. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have gotten a stomach bug. And then BAM, out of the blue I came down with a bad one earlier this month for no apparent reason. It was a miserable 48 hours, but it reminded me how blessed I am that this is a rare occurrence. I really think God used this to keep me in check, and I can honestly say I am glad it happened. This Thanksgiving has reminded me to be thankful for the gift of a healthy body and healthy loved ones.
I asked my sponsors this month what they are thankful for. Be sure to check these amazing ladies out!

Thank you so much for including me :). I loved reading all the other's responses
I'm thankful for so much, and I love seeing that others are, too. Sometimes I think that the meaning of Thanksgiving gets swallowed up by Christmas. I, however, am truly thankful to have a family that loves me, a wonderful fiance and a healthy, happy life. God is good :)
Loved reading this! I'm thankful that God has blessed my husband and me in the way that he has!

I love them all! I'm thankful for reading this post!
There's so much I'm thankful for, but lately I've been really thankful for my time in college. A small percentage of people in the world get this opportunity and I am so blessed to be able to have it.
I find that I also forget to be thankful for my health. But it is such a huge blessing in my life.
