Flip-flops and Thanksgiving

A friend of mine gave me flip-flops this summer. They fit well. They’re comfortable. I love the pattern on them with its splashes of red. But that's not why I love the flip-flops. I love them because Mariana gave them to me. It’s not the what. It’s the who.

This Thanksgiving as we list what we’re thankful for, let’s remember whom we are thanking. I don’t need these things around me to be happy, but my life would be empty without the God who gave me the things.
