On 27th November (Wednesday), Pastor Rodney came into Christian Outreach to the Handicapped (my workplace) to give a devotion sharing on Thanksgiving. He told us that the next day is the Thanksgiving Day in America. I have heard about this occasion and most American TV series portrayed that there would be a huge feast for this particular day. He said that the Thanksgiving Day falls on the last Thursday of November and for this year, it fell on my mother's birthday. My family, including my fiance, had planned to have a simple dinner celebration with my folks. Not coincidentally (I believe it was God's plan), it was also our (Nat & I) 27th Monthiversary on the same day. The devotion sharing was a timely message. It was like God telling me through one of His servants to give thanks and appreciate the most important people of my life.
He did list down the list of things we should reflect and be thankful for and truly, I believe I am blessed to be here breathing and using my fingers to coordinate the typing with the thoughts in my mind.
Take a moment everyday to think about the things you can be thankful for. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving Day so that you can give thanks.

I have been sick since yesterday and am in the process of recovering. I really needed to recover because I will be having my bridal shower later in the afternoon. However, I believe I have to forgo the Standard Chartered race which is on tomorrow because I am not totally well. Looking back at this week, I kind of knew I was going to fall sick but lacked the discipline to eat healthier food. I believe most of the time if I choose to make the wrong choices, I will have to suffer the consequences. I really pray that for the rest of my life, I will attempt to make better and more responsible choices and to have more self-control.
Thank you for reading!
Love,
Pam
