It is always good to reflect on the things that we are thankful for. I have so many things to be thankful for since last year. God has revealed a lot of things about me and I have discovered much about myself.
Friendship and support from those around me
As I sat around the table this thanksgiving, we were all asked to share the things that we were thankful for. I looked around at the people that I was with and I was so grateful that God has brought me to a point where I am so comfortable with the friends that I share my time with here. I really felt like I was with my family and I am so grateful for the people that I got to share this Thanksgiving with.
The Beautiful country God has places me in
Waking up every morning, I have become used the world around me here. Many times the poverty surrounding or the heat is something to distract from the beauty of God’s creation but when I stop to look around, it is absolutely amazing to see the beauty that God places in the world. He places beauty in the joy-filled smiles of the people here and in his beautiful creation.
Health and youth
I am so thankful that I am at a point in my life where I have the ability to roam and be free. I am thankful that I am in good health and I don’t have to think about what the next day will bring because God has gifted me with this freedom.
Support from home
I am also very blessed by my family and friends who continue to pray for me and love me from a distance. They love me for who I am and I think that is something to be very thankful for!
We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign. (Revelation 11:7)
