Hey God,
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about everything that happened this past year and how thankful I am for it all. I thank you for the college I’m at and for all the friends that I’m making. I thank you for my family and the continued support that I get from them. I thank you for the chance to lead middle school students to you through worship every Sunday. I’m so so thankful for all you have provided for me this past year.
But right now, I’m more thankful for one thing.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sweet, loving, handsome boy that you brought into my life a year ago.
He’s done so much for me in the short time that we’ve been together. I can’t thank you enough for giving him the ability to show me unconditional love, even when I’m being a big brat (which we both know happens a lot). He checks up on me every time I drive home, making sure that I got home okay without hitting any deer. He knows how passionate I am about my classical music and to show me how much he supports me. He comes to every choir concert and every musical I’m in with a bouquet of flowers in hand and a smile on his face. I cherish the moments when he says he’s proud of me and I know I have you to thank for that.
(He's such a good sport about my love of pictures of him. I can't get enough).
My favorite thing about him is that he loves you more than he loves me. And I see that in everything he does. I see it in the way he treats other people. He’s so kind and is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. The most important thing that we do is pray together at night, every night, before we go to bed. I see how much he loves you when he thanks you for me and asks you if he can be the one to marry me. And on Sunday’s when we lead middle schoolers in worship, I look over and see how into the song he is, and I know that his heart is with You.
He’s such a blessing in my life. Since the day we met, he’s made me a better person. He’s my number one fan. He’s my person. I thank you every single day for giving me my best friend. At this point in our relationship, I can’t even go a day without talking to him. Thank you for giving me him. I’m so excited for our future together and cannot wait to see what you have planned for us.
I love you with everything in me.
Amen.
