Giving Thanks

Today is Thanksgiving but it sure doesn't feel like it but that is because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in El Salvador.I have to admit that the day was a bit strange for me, but I thoughly enjoyed it. I work up at 5:30am this morning just like I do every other weekday to get ready to go to up to Guayabo, normally on Thanksgiving I sleep in a lot. I spent my whole day getting to work up in Guayabo and it was such a wonderful time and I am so thankful for the time I get to spend up in Guayabo.

I have to admit that I really missed my family and friends today. I miss the part about Thanksgiving that brings people together to just share what God has done in our lives in the past year. I did get to celebrate a little bit today, because the Turcios family wanted to celebrate and so we had a little bit of foods that you eat at Thanksgiving for dinner and on Saturday we are going to make Pumpkin Pie because I brought stuff for it when I was in the States (I'm excited for this because Pumpkin Pie is one of my favs).

I have to say that this year I have a lot to be thankful for, even though A LOT has changed since last Thanksgiving, I can't thank God enough for what he has done in my life. I thank God for his steadfast and unfailing love, I thank him that he has taken care of me and through every situation he has been with me. I thank God that he has brought me to El Salvador and for the friends and family that I have made here. I'm also so thankful for my friends and family back home, I love them and miss them so much!! I can't thank God enough for what he is doing in my life and that I get to serve him here in El Salvador!

My God has blessed me beyond measure and so as this Thanksgiving comes to a close, I just thank God that he saved me and redeemed me from my sin. I also love the fact that giving thanks is something that we should do everyday, not just on the holiday. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I love you all and I hope that you have all had a very blessed Thanksgiving!!
