Turkey time!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would share some things I am thankful for right now. At this very moment in time....


- redemption, freedom, and grace solely through the cross of Christ
- that my blood clots normally
- I have perfect vision in both eyes and see colors come alive
- none of my freckles are malignant
- that I (well, parentals included) am paying my way through school, and don't have any loans or student debts
- the sea and its vastness; the ability to swallow up the world; to submerge each and every detail
- I've had my own car since I was 17, and, its a blessing to say the friggin least
- I have never been in an accident, I am actually really really grateful for this one
- my heartbreak, that has only drawn me closer to the heart of Jesus, that has only drawn me deeper into other relationships, and that has given me overwhelming support from people who care
- friends, who have emptied themselves tirelessly to bring the absolute best out of me at endless costs to them
- family, who have and will continue to put my life and well being before their own at any given moment
- that my foot has finally healed and though I cant run, I can walk
- the ability to taste, and smell food
- the fiances to eat, cook (oh my...) and purchase different types of food
- living in Canada, where there are police to call for help, firemen to call for fires, centers for support, shelters for food, places to apply for jobs, a doctor for sickness, a counselor for weakness, movies to rent at Blockbuster, electricity and water constantly at our fingertips...
- that my brain is able to retrieve, and store memories properly
- the opportunity to help serve my homeless friends in downtown Toronto, quite possibly some of the most humble and faithful people I've ever met
- that my central and peripheral nervous system work together as a whole and not separately
- for my guitar, that brings me so much peace even when WWIII is battling inside my head
- that I have the ability to dream... in more ways than I know how to explain
- the tears, that challenge, change, captivate, control, conspire, and compete within me for the better; always.
- the empire Christ built Himself in the depths of my heart
- for the lighthouse on the coast, that always brings me home.. even through the most violet and raging storms
- the wind; and its complete inability to be tamed, caught, or negotiated with

Mmm. Yes, I am the wind.
Which, really isn't a good thing.

Hmm..
