It is that time of year when Canadians take a moment to think about what they are grateful for. I am proud of my adopted homeland. As I look back on this year, I find myself thinking that I have indeed been blessed in so many ways. But what follows are things that I am most thankful for.
My Wife
It pains me to see her work so hard so that she can take care of her family in the Phillippines. It saddens me when I seen how some of them appear to not even be grateful for her hard efforts. Canada isn't the Promise Land. You have to work very hard here to make it.
When I see her fall into bed beside me after giving the day her all, I can only hope that one day we will be in a position where she will not have to work so hard or at all. She takes good care of me in her own way and although sometimes I am blind to see how but I get it more and more each day.
My Siblings
Along with my parents, they are part of the few constant things in my life. I hate that we are so far apart from each other these days but I am grateful for generious Wireless Plans and Facebook that keep us connected. I want nothing but good things for them and I pray they continue down the road to thriving and prospering.
My Parents
As I get older and hopefully wiser, I can see that I have been truly blessed to have these dear people as my parents. I realize with passing day what they tried to give me and how much they sacrificed to do so. I can only hope that one day soon I can show them hat I am grateful and that their efforts were not in vain.
Friends
They are few and far between these days. My life has often ripped them from me and so I have gotten used to simply cutting them off. I prefer a private life. But those who have shown me kindness, treated me with disgression, and continued to encourage me are appreciated more than they know. God's greatest blessing.

This Thanksgiving will be simple and quiet. In these still moments, I thank God that I have been sustained, preserved, and blessed in ways that humble and awe me. I pray the same happens to all who read this. Take a moment to see that it is already happening to you.
