This week Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving, a day for family and friends to get together, eat good food, and give thanks. Living in Australia, it’s been 7 years since I’ve had green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce or home-made pumpkin pie.
But while I don’t celebrate the holiday, I like to honour the spirit behind the day by reflecting back on the year and giving thanks for how God has blessed and worked in my life.

It’s 2:38 am and I’m wide awake.
We arrived in Kauai, Hawaii 36 hours ago after a 15-hr journey (with a long layover in Honolulu) during which I slept 2.5 hours, so the first night I slept nearly 12 hours! But tonight is a different story.

It’s springtime in Melbourne. My weather app forecasts scattered showers for the next 6 days. I stare dismally at the boys’ shoes which are torn up with holes – they go through shoes faster than clothes or haircuts. I’ll have to pack extra socks for when their feet get wet.
Rain brings mixed emotions.
For some, rain means cold, dreary commutes with dripping umbrellas. For some, it means slippery sports conditions. For others, it means an invitation for hibernation.
But for farmers? Rain is an answer to prayer. It’s desperately needed for crops, livestocks, and livelihoods. Aussie farmers are anxiously watching the skies waiting for rain to come now.

What does it mean to be a Christian? What does it mean to be a disciple? How can we have a genuine and growing relationship with God?
There are two general categories of emotions: positive emotions, which are enjoyable – contentment, surprise, and happiness; then there are negative emotions – sadness, anxiety, fear, anger, shame, and guilt. We have been socially trained to largely avoid negative emotions. Join us as we navigate negative emotions from a biblical perspective.
“Blue and green should often be seen,” I quoted as I opened the hotel room balcony to the stunning view of the sun-splashed Coral Sea in tropical Queensland. I had learned that little mantra from the book Live More Happy by Dr. Darren Morton that outlined 5 principles of happiness. It basically means, go out in nature – because uplifting physical environments are clinically proven to make us feel better.
Although it was only for 3 days, we were able to immerse ourselves in blues and greens – the lagoon, Green Island, the beach, the stunning waterfall at Barron Gorge… and we were happy.
