One of the many reasons that I love Thanksgiving is the opportunity it provides to think about being thankful. Often times life passes so quickly that we forget that we have so much to be thankful for. Living in a country that does not celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving makes me realize this even more. While we can't be with our loved ones today, enjoying each other's company and eating Thanksgiving feasts, we can still be very thankful. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are some of the many things that we are thankful for:
Our families and friends that we miss so very much. The amazing place called Canvas that is impacting so many lives, including ours. Our supporters that make it possible for us to be here. New friends in England that have made us feel so welcome. Skype for making us feel just a little bit closer to home. Sunny mornings and the dawn of a new day. The freedom to believe in a God that is so much bigger than our lives. Water to drink, food to eat, and a bed to sleep in at night. And the hope of the future and what it might bring.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Know that we miss you and love you!
Thanks for taking some time to Skype and say hi yesterday; we know you were busy making soup of lots of lucky people. But it meant a lot to the whole family, especially the grandmas. Miss you/love youuuu
