Life and Thanksgiving

It's thanksgiving in Canada tomorrow and I just wanted to put a post up about it because I'm not very good at vocalising it. I hate to sound cheesy or fake but I do want to be earnest.

• I am genuinely thankful that I have a loving family and though we've been through trials we have been strengthened as a unit because of them.
• I am grateful that I found some meaningful work just at the right time.
• I am happy Gabriel enjoys his day care and that he is thriving and growing.
• I am happy that my family at home (and abroad) are doing well, that they are happy and successful.
• I am overjoyed to hear that my mother in law is now in much better health.
  
• I praise God for good friends who are so open in their faith and shameless in their walk.
• I love being in a community that cares for its fellow man - no matter what.
• I was so encouraged that the Army as a worldwide community prayed in unison against human trafficking last weekend.
• I am thankful for fun and games with friends.
• I am so grateful to have had Gabriel in my life for the last year, I have learnt so much from him and I believe I will always learn from him.
  
• I am thankful for my home and that I can step out my door without fear.

Here are a couple of pictures of my two favourite people:

Cheese anyone?

Jail Break!!

There is so much more, but these are things I had on my heart today.
May God bless you in your walk.

p.s. Gabriel just started walking this evening after I made this post! - Please see video clips below.
