Thanksgiving!

Contrary to popular belief, we actuall did have Thanksgiving day off here because we are still an "American" school. It was a much needed, and very nice break. We had Thursday and Friday off. On Thursday we spent the day at a good friend's house with lots of other good friends and way to much food! It was a yummy feast! We were also able to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and the Packers/Lions game. It was a good day.

As Matt and I were talking about what we are thankful for we talked about how a lot of times most of the things on our thankful list are "things." Of course we always put family and friends on there, followed by a huge list of earthly possessions. Beings we are away from family, and don't have much as far as "things" we found our thankful list to be kind of short. As we continued to talk about it, we realized our list should be short, because we don't need all of these earthly things, and how much more we need God than our family and friends.

Our conversation reminded us of one of our favorite songs. The lyrics are simple yet something we all need to be reminded of everyday, that all we need is God.

All We Need is You by Charlie Hall

Rich or poor God I want You more
Than anything that glitters in this world
Be my all, all consuming fire.

We have all we need in You
And all we need is You
All we need is You

You can have all my hands can hold
My heart, mind, strength and soul
Be my all, all consuming fire.
