Thanksgiving day is here. I don’t usually give formal thanks, but this has been one especially crazy year. I’ve encountered more people who have lost their jobs, homes and loved ones than ever before, it seems. I have so very much to be thankful for.
I could go on about how thankful I am that I have an income, healthy children, wonderful parents, a nice house and all of that. But there is one thing in particular I want to give thanks for today. The one thing that I see many going without.
Real love.
So many people are searching for love. Others seem to think they have found love, but really have only settled with something that is familiar.
Others still don’t seem to know what real love even is. They think it can exist with constant lying, deception, pain and unfaithfulness. They think it can be tied to superficial conditions – “so long as she stays slim / he stays well-off”. They tend to work around each other more often than they work together.
I am so thankful that I have found real love. That I have a spouse who is my best friend, teammate, the lover of my life and the father of my children, sharer of my dreams and supporter of my ambitions.
For real love, I give thanks.
