Oh Yes! In the presence of the Lord,
I will bring my gift,
In thanksgiving and joy,
There is joy in my heart,
It is flowing like a river,
And I will praise the Lord,
In Thanksgiving and Joy.
For today’s gratitude challenge, I am thankful that I don’t have to jump out of bed early for a couple of days and rush around like a headless chicken, to ensure that the children are ready for school.
It’s National Day celebration over here, so we get today and tomorrow off school which spills right into the weekend. Yes!!!
I am thankful for the season that we are in. I feel the joy in the air. Even in this city that is Muslim dominated, there is so much liberalism at this point.
Christmas decorations are popping up at the malls and Christmas tunes float in the air from several shops. It’s amazing and I am thankful that we are in a city that is tolerant of other peoples’ religion.
I am quite sure that you have something to be thankful for today.
Blessed Love.

The celebration is huge all over the city. Wish I could be everywhere at once and the weather is equally lovely.

As I mature, it is the simple things for which I am most grateful (like being able to sleep in on a weekday☺)!
