Thanksgiving Challenge - Day 7-9

(I'm waay behind but here goes)

1) Grooveshark: It is debatable if this online music streaming service is legal or not but either way, Grooveshark has allowed me to listen to music at work from my favourite artists
2) JayessLee: Harmonizing (and mesmorizing) Korean twins from Australia. They played and sang in concert on Friday. I thank them for sharing their touching testimony and giving God the glory with their music and talents. It has re-inspired me to do the same
3) Coupons: Businesses promote their goods, I save money. A reason to get me to go out!
4) Large dinner events: On Saturday was the Dalit Awareness Dinenr where ~300 people attended. It has been awhile since I've attended these kind of events where there was plenty of food, music, and dance. It was great community event and I connected with people I have not seen in a long time.
5) Clear skies at night: I had the opportuinity to walk around downtown at night; the skies were clear and crisp, the city lights, stars and moon were shining bright in beautiful elegance. Even though I've seen it before, it always makes me acknowledge God and for this beautiful creation.
6) Pastors: It is pastors appreciation month this October. I'm really thankful for the hard work and service they put in, and for taking a lot of peoples' excrement.
7) Rooibos tea: I prefer not to consume caffeine, but I like my tea. I'm glad my dad introduced me to a product of South Africa, rooibos tea. High in antioxidants, it's lack of caffeine makes it my healthy and flavourful choice.
8) Electricity: Actually electricity is natural (lightning) but the ability to harness and generate electricity for world use and consumption has really propelled humans into incredible advances in technology and innovation. No electricity, no light, no computers, no technology.
9) iPad: I don't use it a lot but I give thanks for this device. It has enabled my mom to surf the web with ease, use her email and Facebook to connect with her relatives.
10) Health: We often take our health for granted, only until we are sick or injured do we realize how vital it is to function. I'm thankful that I've been healthy my whole life and especially now, I haven't been seriously sick.
11) Starfield: One of my favourite Christian bands. I like their music and lyrical style, plus the lyrics aren't superficial. It actually causes me to think, to pause, to digest, and enjoy.
12) My friends: Item #12 to signify the twelve disciples, which makes me dedicate this one to all my friends (not Facebook friends, but FRIENDS). I'm thankful for my friends to keep me grounded, humble, to make fun of, to make fun of me. It's ace.
13) Paper: To capture my ideas and to-do lists
14) Trees: To follow up on the paper idea, trees take CO2 and converts it to Oxygen, provides shade, nice scenery, source of paper, wood for houses, tables, and GUITARS!
15) Keyboard: Obviously I type faster than I write. Makes a huge difference when you're writing a long essay
