Joy in little things

What joy there is in simple pleasures! It is so easy to forget how good we have it in Canada, and how especially easy it is to forget to thank God for his abundant blessings. I pray that I will never again take simple things for granted and will always praise God for his abundance (though I know I will still fail at this). Living in Kigali, I find joy in... finding corn chips on the shelf of a little store; finding diet pop (I can't have sugar in my diet due to hypoglycemia) and not paying close to $3 for one can; an entire day without the power going out even once; hot water; not being run over while walking across the road; restaurant service that only takes 1 hour; a "fast" (definitely a relative term) internet connection; the fact that geckos aren't poisonous; students who love the Lord.
