This morning in church, the pastor asked us to call out some of the things we're grateful for. I think I'm grateful for quite a lot.
Thanks God for music, for really good juicy peaches, refreshing water, Esquire's apple juice, connectivity, community, sunshine, trees, perspectives that humble us. And right now, I'm especially grateful for glimmers of hope.
As a world we've grown a lot. Finding indicators of our global growth is quite hard but a simple look into the fact that America has a black president might put things into perspective. We still have a long way to go but we've still come so far and I'm incredibly grateful that I don't live in a world where it's alright to shun someone because of their skin colour. I'm excited because a few hundred years ago, a black president was unimaginable. We've got so far to go but man seeing this sort of stuff makes me realise that we can do it. We have done it and we're still doing it.
Yay God... Amen.
