Spirit of the Union

The UAE is about to celebrate 41 years as a country on December 2.  As I look at what this country as done in such a short time I can only imagine what the country will be like in another 41 years from now.  This country seems so young compared to the USA.  I can't believe the USA was founded  236 years ago.

This picture below is a silhouette of the iconic image between the founding fathers of the United Arab Emirates, lead by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Time to give Thanks

I can't believe it is November already a time to give thanks for what we have.  I am thankful for our family and friends, but most importantly I am thankful for a wonderful husband and two wonderful daughters.  God has blessed us with the chance to be parents and what a blessing it is.  I am thankful we have a home and we can provide for our family.  We have been blessed to experience living in another culture for 3 years now.  This adventure has opened my eyes to a culture that is different than our own.  I am grateful we have gotten to live here and to be able to show our children some amazing sites, but one thing for sure there is no place like home.  A place where some people only dream about.  After living abroad it gives you prospective to never take for grated our beliefs and our freedoms.  I hope everyone is grateful for what they have and always be thankful everyday of the year not just at Thanksgiving.
