Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
In my opinion, I think giving thanks is not only on Thanksgiving, but also to give thanks everyday for everything that I have. But looking back at 2008, there are a lot of things I should be thankful for. Even though they are not always big events, or even miracles, but it is the little things that make up of what I have now that counts, especially all the things that are given by God:

1. I’m thankful that I can live in the U.S. Even though I know there are some things I like and don’t like of where I live, but comparing to many poorer countries, I can enjoy and have many luxuries that others may never enjoy in their whole life.

2. I’m thankful that I have many “easy” classes this year, and obtain a satisfying term GPAs overall. Comparing to the classes and grades I had for the past semesters, I feel that this year; my classes has gone very smoothly, with many of God’s blessings.

3. I’m thankful that I have obtained my driving license. It’s not easy to obtain one since the road test is considered difficult of where I live, but I’m glad I’ve passed it. I hope to have chance to practice my driving skills to better prepare myself.

4. I’m thankful that I have peace for my future, or my career path. For the past months it has been a roller coaster ride for me in terms of what I should do in my future. It feels that everything is fallen into place now as I’m preparing myself for graduation next year. I continue to pray that I will have a good career path waiting for me in the future, with peace and hope.

There are so many things I can thank for, yet it will not be finish if I list them all. However, I will continue to give thanks everyday for what I have. I know that what I’ve obtained myself, there are blessings and grace from God along the way.
I end this blog with “Give Thanks”, a beautiful song that motivates me to live my abundant life everyday, that I’d never felt that I had in the past.

"Give thanks, with a grateful heart
Give thanks, to the Holy One
Give thanks, because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son (x2)
And now, let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us (x2)

Give Thanks!" : )

P.S – I’m looking forward to see the movie “Tales of Despereaux”. I remembered last summer I picked this book for summer reading for my students. Now they made a movie, and it’s showing on Christmas. Hope it’s good as the book. : )
