I am thankful for the house, van, and Jeep.

I am thankful for the washer that washes our clothes.

I am thankful for the dish washer that washes our dishes.

I am thankful for the coffee maker that brews the coffee for us every morning.

I am thankful for the gas stove and oven that we can cook and bake easily.

I am thankful for all these electronics that we can use for our works, hobbies, and fun.

I am thankful for the internet that fast and we can use for watching TV shows.

I am thankful for the fire place and furnace so that we won’t be cold in the Winter.

I am thankful for the AC so that we won’t be too warm in the Summer.

I am thankful for the sitting toilet that better and cleaner that squatty potty.

I am thankful for the hot water and shower that I love it!

I call these are luxuries in my life because my parents cannot afford to have all of these.

They are too luxury stuff for us.

But God has been so gracious to provide for us to live here!

I am grateful!

Something beautiful… It is one hard to pick for today photo of gratefulness. But I am thinking of my beautiful hometown North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

A place on earth where I was born, raised and grew up. A place that has a special place in my heart.

I thank God for He created such a beautiful place and everything in it. The mountains, the smell of the flowers, the people and hmmm… the food too!  I thank God for who I am and where I was born.

Its beauty simply declares God’s glory.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Giving thanks is God’s will for each of His follower. We are called to be thankful in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, not only when we have something to celebrate or we got answer to our prayer. We give thanks to God each day.

This month of November is the month where people love sharing things that they thank God for. I couple of days ago, I saw this “Gratefulness November Photo Challenge” posted on my friend’s Facebook wall

Gratefulness Day 1: someone I see everyday –> this guy! He is someone I see EVERYDAY in my life (beside the other 2 cuties ;D)

Gratefulness Day 2: a gift –> this guy (again!) Yup! He is a gift in my life that I can never stop thanking God for.
