I think sometimes we tend to focus on what is going wrong in our lives and forget that there are also some pretty wonderful things happening at the same time. So, what are you thankful for? I hope this is the right venue for this....
For some reason lately, I have been running across so many articles about countries and cultures where women are little more than chattel. They are taught from birth that everything they have in life is at the whim of a male and they are denied the opportunity to live up to their full potential. Where female circumcision is practiced because of a lack of knowledge and/or some ridiculous sense of honor.
So, today, I am particularly thankful that I live in a country and culture where women have the opportunity to use their God given abilities and take them in whatever direction they like. Where women, as a general rule, are seen as valuable assets. Where men, as a general rule, are not threatened by a woman's sexuality.
What are you thankful for....and remember, this is a discussion thread...not a debate.
