Today is Canadian Thanksgiving. Over the past two and a half months I have become more and more aware of God's care and blessings in my life. I think it is a good thing that there is a specific day set aside for the purpose of giving thanks but I am convinced that we have much more to be thankful for than can fill one day, I know that I do at least. So in honour of today I will list some of the things I am thankful for. This list is by no means all-encompassing and it is in no particular order.
-A God who loves me and takes care of me and desires a personal relationship with all people.
-Being close (geographically speaking) to my immediate family.
-Being able to worship regularly with my brothers and sisters at the Saskatoon Church of Christ.
-A job that I enjoy.
-A car that gets me to and from my job as well as other places I may need or want to go.
-A rent free home.
-Forgiveness.
-The internet which allows me to communicate with people both near and far.
-Opportunities to practice speaking Portuguese right here in Saskatoon.
-Sunday lunches shared with my mom.
-Lisa, Paul and Cadence.
-Freedom to worship my God without persecution.
-That I was born in Canada.
-That God has a plan for me.
-The beauty of creation.
-That it hasn't snowed yet and that when it does I know it won't last forever. :)
-Friends who speak truth into my life.
-My Brazilian family and friends.
-My Grandma Parry.
-Growing friendships with my siblings.
