I'm Grateful for...

My fan

The electricity that makes my fan go round and round

The amazing fellowship I am able to have with the other missionaries here

Walking on the beach at sunset, after having a cheap ice-cream

Being able to bless others

The little surprises that show up on my doorstep – for example:
~A suitcase full of goodies: 2% low fat UHT milk, cans of tuna in brine, CDs, muesli, chocolates, cashew nuts, wrap around
skirts (capalanas), pasta, tins of jam and a huge chunk of cheese!
~Some frozen chicken, onions and tomatoes
~A dozen bread rolls on a day I cant afford to buy any!

Saturdays that can be spent relaxing on the beach

My 2 regular supporters, one of whom gave me double for April and some extra for May!

An internet connection (even if its slow and expensive!)

Friends who allow me to borrow their laptops so that I am able to do my university assignments and go online

The ½ a bucket of rainwater so that I can bathe everyday

My mosquito net


Insect repellent


The truck that goes into to town once a week so that I am able to so some shopping

Coca Cola!!!!

Rides to the other centre, 2km away from home, just when I need to go there – saves me a walk in the hot sun!

Not being mugged

Bleach so that I can wash all the maggots out the bin

My staple gun – no missionary should be without one!

The visitors who painted my roof with heat reflecting paint.

Those same visitors who dug a drainage ditch in the sand in our yard so that the bathrooms don’t flood when it rains

Rainwater to cook with and bathe in!

The Cross and all that it means to me.

What are you grateful for?
