Thankful for my family back home who encourage me and bring me so much happiness. I miss and love them more than they know.
Thankful for a God so big and powerful that He can use the weakest, smallest things to bring glory to His Name.
Thankful for a little country called Uganda, filled with familiar faces and new faces, joy that bubbles over and hope that fills you. A beautiful, beautiful place I am so blessed by.
Thankful for Amani Baby Cottage and the people who work here. I have seen His love being poured out onto all these babies.
Thankful for these beautiful orphaned or abandoned children that bring so much gladness, so much peace and make me laugh all the time. Blessed that He has given me this opportunity to love them and learn from them.
Thankful for the little things; a mosquito net, internet, electricity, a fan, clean water, bug spray, a slight breeze, a friends laughter over skype, tiny hands that slip into mine...
This thanksgiving as I sit in a third world country, far from home and our family traditions, I am bursting with thankfulness. This is where God wants me and if that means giving up all I know, I'm okay with that. Because being here and in the center of His will for my life is more wonderful than anything.
So thankful that when I am missing home I can walk downstairs and find children who are ready to hold my hand and tell me something exciting. Babies who cherish kisses and hugs and I love yous.
Thankful for this place and all those around me- so thankful.
