Day 1: Skype

One of my favorite things to do leading up to Thanksgiving is the 30 days of Thankfulness where each day I intentionally take time to think of something I am thankful for. It's a good time to be intentional about counting your blessings. So... for the next 30 days I'll be doing a daily post (or nearly daily depending on the internet) with items in my life that I am thankful for. During this time I encourage you to spend time thinking about the blessing in your life.

Today I am thankful for...

Skype

Today, as I eagerly await a Skype date with my family later this evening, I am thinking about what a blessing Skype has been since arriving in Ethiopia. I am so thankful for the ability to see my family in real-time and share with one another the joys and struggles of life. Without fail, getting to see the faces of the family that I love so very much brightens up my day and brings a smile to my face!  Even from thousands of miles away, we can be together. For that reason and so many others: today I am thankful for Skype.
