As my Thanksgiving day here in Taiwan is coming to a close, it is just beginning for friends and family back in Ohio.
Wonderful smells are probably just now beginning to fill the house. The sound of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is adding to the ambiance of the day. For some of you, snow may even be gently falling from an overcast sky.
These thoughts, of course, are fueled by the many warm, comfortable, happy memories of Thanksgivings past.
Today, even though I live in a country where today was not a holiday, I celebrated Thanksgiving.

And I didn't have to be an American to be thankful!
Morrison, as well as our mission organization, is blessed to be a multicultural community.
As I ate my stuffing, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie I shared conversation with our high school librarian from South Africa. Across from me was the Taiwanese wife of a seminary professor. Just down the table sat our Chemistry teacher, a Canadian citizen.
My point?
While a Thanksgiving filled with all the smells and sights, bells and whistles is satisfying for the day, being thankful every day, no matter where you are, or what you have, is satisfying for life!
Happy Thanksgiving!
