the african diet: day 4

so i know it is way passed thanksgiving, but i'd like to take this time while i'm fasting to make a list of the things that i'm grateful for...
God- sending His only Son to die on the cross and to be risen from the dead for all of the sins of the earth as a great exchange of our suffering with His boundless love, grace, and mercy
mom- who has always cared for me, even when i defied her to the point of pure malice
dad- who has encouraged me to follow my dreams, whatever they may be
brother- who has inspired me to become more than just a churchgoer, a man of Christ
friends- although not all believe in God, i do not know one among them who would abandon me in a time of struggle
school- it drives me insane to think of school as something even close to a blessing, but i know, somehow, that God would not make me suffer without a reason =P
food- compared to $1.00 a day for food, the meals i usually eat seem to me now a luxury that i take for granted most of the time...and even so, $1.00 a day can support a child in Uganda

You actually make it seem very easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I’d never understand. african mango for weight loss
