Happy Thanksgiving!

Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Who can utter the might deeds of the Lord or declare all his praise. ~Psalm 106:1-2

Thanksgiving or holidays similar are celebrated in many countries during the autumn months such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Australia to name a few.  Tomorrow it is Thanksgiving in the United States.  Several believers living in the UAE were asked what they are thankful for.  Here’s the list:

• Green spaces to hang out in and meet new people

• Multicultural churches

• Hospitality

• People willing to be discipled and willing to study and learn

• Diversity in worship

• Possibilities to learn from other cultures and ethnicities 

• Acceptance

• Tolerance from the government to gather to worship together 

• Nice winter weather 

• Friendship with other believers in the churches / other ethnicities from around the world that we might not have ever had the chance to go to and meet

• Safety of the city (Dubai is placed within the top 20 safest cities in the world)

• Able to get American products here (bless the Lord for CFA sauce) 

• Seeing God move and work in myself, my family, my marriage while being obedient to His calling for my life

• Openness to the gospel by some unreached people groups

• Opportunities to partner with sent out ones from around the world for church planting

• People are taking the gospel from this place all over the world

• Churches on the Arabian Peninsula

• Recovery from Covid (Presently Covid is under control)
