Thanksgiving

Instead of writing a lengthy post on why we should be thankful and all, I thought I would give thanks for some things - in no particular order of importance:

1. Laughter in the midst of pain

2. Peace in the midst of uncertainty

3. My family members, imperfect but perfect at the same time

4. The special blessing of being friends with the people whom I've prayed that I could be friends with

5. The encouragement of being friends with the people whom I've never imagined that I would be friends with

6. The soul-melting nudges of a tiny human being made in God's image - from inside me (and they will turn into mighty, flying kicks soon)

7. Life and freedom from eating disorders; I can never forget how dark it was when I was trapped in them

8. The love of God, of which I try to make sense of daily

9. Good skin which doesn't need too much maintenance - and I am very thankful for this, because I cannot afford expensive skincare products, counter brands included

10. The Bible, which the Christians in my country are still permitted to own, keep, read and know


Thank God.
