Happy Thanksgiving

Well today is thanksgiving sunday - much to be thankful for! So much that we take forgranted.. I'm thankful for my wonderful family, I'm very blessed to have one. I'm thankful for my friends, life would be empty without them. I'm thankful for my jobs, my home, my car, my church, daily provision. I'm thankul for the freedom that we have here.

After coming back from Lesotho, I've come to see how I've taken things fogranted every day.. how lucky am I to have all of these things?? When I think about thanksgiving and all I'm thankful for, I can't help but think about the kids at MIS.. it brings tears to my eyes.. It's not fair how I can have such an abundance of blessings compared to what these kids have. They deserve so much more! And I definitely don't deserve all of the blessings that God has given me. I wish I could give each one of these kids what they so deserve most, a loving family. It breaks my heart knowing some of these kids may never know what its like to have a family and be loved in such a way. I want to be able to do more for these kids..

I'm feeling a little down today, wishing I could be there giving many hugs and kisses. I miss them so much, I can't even describe how much.. Their little smiles that lit up each time we entered the room, eyes full of wonder, and their little feet running towards us, tiny hands grasping ours.. If I close my eyes long enough I almost feel like I'm there again.... But then I remember I'm worlds apart from them... Life feels pretty empty without those little guys.. so little.. yet so incredibly important in our Saviour's eyes!
