Thanksgiving in South Africa

A South African Thanksgiving! Definitely not your traditional thanksgiving but oh so fun!

There are so many things for me to bet thankful for this year. I was just talking with my house church about how the way you live changes when you live in a state of thanksgiving. Even the hard and challenging times can have a new look on them when you focus on and give thanks for the good that is in your live. So let me list a few of the things I am thankful for in my life:

  1. My crazy and amazing flatmates. We have crammed 5 people in a three bedroom apartment and all of us are still alive. We all have a good sense of humour and also know each others space. It is so amazing to have a place that I can call home here in South Africa

  2. My All Nations family. I never imagined that I could grow so close to a group of people again. Even during the communication break downs and stressful we really are a big family that knows how to stand by one another and lift each other up.

  3. My family in Alaska. That no matter how far away I am they send me little gifts of love and reminding me that I am always in their hearts and definitely keeping them in mine.
