All
through the year we should be careful to count our blessings. But at
Thanksgiving, most of us ask ourselves this question. What is it we are most
thankful for today?
Like many others,
through the years, I have been hurt, used, broken and torn. But today I
am thankful for my marred heart. As I take the time to look deep
inside, I see a heart filled with imperfection. There are scars and holes
left by my past. The scars are painful gouges caused by others that God
has so delicately pieced back together through the years. The holes are
from times I have gladly given pieces of my heart to someone else. The
scars have taught me how to forgive and have given me the strength to move
on. The holes remind me of those I love so much. I am thankful to
God for my heart, for teaching me what love is and what it is not. For
showing me how to use it and for always being willing to repair it when it is
broken. Most of all, I am grateful to Him for loving me.
