It is our Canadian Thanksgiving this coming weekend.

Everday Thanksgiving♥

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, thank You, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank You, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank You, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, thanks when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank You, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank You, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank You, Lord, for life.

I love this song


Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment, Lifes throws stones at you, but your love and your dream changes those stones into flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no-one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that creat history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love
Ben Okri
