For Thanksgiving this year, I went my sister’s house in Ohio. And for the dinner, my sister invited bunch of her church members to share the feast together. After the delicious dinner, we sat around sharing what we are most thankful about this year and wrote it on a piece of paper. Following is what I wrote:

One thing I’m most thankful for is God’s grace. I don’t mean it as a Christian rhetoric, but the fact that I’m such a horrible a sinner makes me just drop to my knees and be grateful for His mercy.

Life seems so fragile. It can end so easily and it can begin so abruptly. There are abundance of it too (6 billion and growing), rendering life as cheap as paper towel after a Thanksgiving meal of 10. Yet the Bible claims that God loves those individual lives. It’s unfathomable.

It seems as though I’m not even trying at this life thing thinking that heaven is waiting for me. Still God continually and unchangeably opens the door for me and shows me the way. This year he has allowed me to earn my BS, finish MS and pursue PhD. I’m grateful.

The mere fact that I have a sister, brother in law and a nephew to be with on a Thanksgiving day is a great blessing. I’m not the best brother there is but I know that I have the best sister in the world.

Thanks God.

한글 번역:

내가 가장 감사한것은 하나님의 은혜이다. 그냥 크리스찬들이 말하는 의미없는 말이 아니다. 나같이 엄청난 죄인이라는 것때문에 하나님의 은혜는 날 무릎꿇게하며 주의 자비에 감사하게 한다.

인생이란 너무나도 연약한 존제 인거 같다. 너무나도 쉽게 끝이나며 너무나도 갑지기 시작되기도 한다. 그리고 이 세상엔 인생은 풍부하다 (60억이나 된다).
