"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

1 Chronicles 16:8

Give Thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done.

Did you know that Psalm 105:1 says the same thing?

Thanksgiving,what a great day to think about all the blessings God has given us. So many things to be thankful for and so many memories to reflect on. It reminds me of all the things we take for granted. All the things I miss and how very thankful I am that I want to shout from the top of the highest mountain for all to hear how GREAT GOD IS!

Today, I am mostly thankful for falling in love with and finding a Savior in the Lord Jesus Christ. For the opportunities and moments that God continues to place before me. And for all the amazing people He has allowed to come into my life and the footprints they have left upon my heart.

Though this was not a Holiday in Korea I was still off (I get to celebrate both American and Korean Holidays here) I still spent the day with a loved one here. We made dinner, not a typical Thanksgiving meal, but I did have a traditional one Saturday night and then again for lunch yesterday at school. We then watched three movies on TV: ET, The Last Samurai, and then Harry Potter. It was just a great day to relax, plus I did get an opportunity to talk to some loved ones back in the States.

Again, I will end with Psalm 106:1
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
