Now it is your turn. "I am thankful. . ."
What a great broad list. Growing up in the Philippines but living longer in the US, I am very much appreciative of many positive things the US has to offer.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is always interesting to find out the perspective of those who have grown up in other countries or who have lived in other countries. It often can be quite eye opening.
DeleteExcellent concise and... (whats the word) all-encompassing Grat List. No small feat (to write such a list), rather nicely done. Most of us resort to a roller or a sharpie when attempting to write, your list reminds me that less is more.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wanted to try something concise and more to the point this time around.
DeleteWe really do have beautiful freedoms!
ReplyDeleteYes we do, and with that blessing, at the very least to express gratitude when given the opportunity.
DeleteA good reminder of the freedoms we have!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristi.
DeleteThis is a great reminder of our freedoms indeed!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThat is an excellent list and reminder that we have freedoms so many others don't have. Have you seen the RBG documentary? It wasn't too many years ago that women definitely did not have the same freedoms as men in our country. I always remember my mom's credit cards having "Mrs. Robert Vinyard" on them, meaning she never had any credit in her name (she never needed it, but what if?) Thanks, RBG, for fighting for that right!
ReplyDeleteEvery day, i pray for those who do not have our freedom of worship, that they may be protected from their own governments. What a blessing we have, i am so glad you pointed these out.
