Every thanksgiving I like thinking about what I’m thankful for. Before going to Africa I was always thankful for the same things family, friends, food and a house to live in. I never understood the extent of these things until I went to Africa. I also realized how much I was taking for granted in my everyday life.
I’m thankful that I have a bed, blanket, and a pillow to lay my head on at night
I’m thankful that my house is big enough where each of us has our own room
I’m thankful for an amazing thanksgiving dinner with pumpkin pie
