Regardless of my thoughts on the recent election, there is something heavy on my heart.
I’ve spent the last year joining people in the lives around the world. Living on their economical level, in their current situations. Not there to change it or save them, just there to support them and love them.
There are people with desperate needs, people who would do anything just for a drink of clean water. Seriously.
If you’ve never seen that kind of need with your own eyes, please believe me that your heart would break for them if you saw it.
So I looked around me this year and saw people in desperate need.
Then I looked online, the people and country who I spent 13 years waiting to be a citizen of…
arguing and divided.
There is a disconnect.
I’m not saying that people’s opinions on the election don’t matter, it sure does. And I hope each of you feel valued and heard.
But.
This year, I choose to be thankful for the abundance. For the simple things like clean water. Food on the table. Health. Shelter.
This year, I want to spend thanksgiving with this perspective:
We are BLESSED.
It’s not a cliche thing.
We are so blessed. I’m am SO thankful and I want to invite everyone to step out of the division this year has caused and to step into humility, unity, love and
thanksgiving.
