APPRECIATED THINGS
Again with the lists. One day I am going to find some time to write something other than a list. Maybe I will do that on the day I can throw out my "TO DO" list...Wouldn't that be nice! But alas some things that have stuck out in the last little while.
1- Getting facebooked my a long lost friend...
2- My uncle getting facebook...If facebook was ever cool, it is now
3- Getting together with a group of C4Cers for a vision night...So very exciting!
4- An e-mail in response to an e-mail from my parents.
5- A chance to lead a Bible study at church...And the responses from people in the congregation
6- Watching Pride and Prejudice
7- Sharing secrets with a wonderful group of girls after watching P&P
8- Making chili, and the smell in my apartment...SO good
9- Beautiful flowers from someone special...Nope didn't buy them for myself
10- Genuine excitement for various reasons from Jessie
11- The girls in my DG...The desire to learn and grow
12- Discipleship time with Kelley, always appreciated, but yesterday was exactly what I needed

A FEW MORE THINGS
Since midterms are upon me, lists lacking in detail are necessary because time is of the essence! Will it ever slow down? The truth is I hope not, though sleeping in someday might be nice. So in point form, a few key high lights from the past week.
- An e-mail from Dubai. (From the mother of one of the girls in my DG. A few kind words of encouragement and letting me know that I am being prayed for. It made my day!)
- A new baby cousin. (Rory Donald Smith Cameron was born on Thursday morning.)
- Baby sitting Rory's older sisters. (Three wonderful little girls, who are a joy to play with, and are so excited to have a baby brother!)
- Dinner at the Harman's home. (It was a wonderful evening. They are an amazing family, I am blessed to have them in my life.)
- A decision to start C4C at Mount Allison University. (SMU is going to be partnering with MT.A to reach that campus and the nations for Christ. I am looking forward to getting to know Fraser better through this adventure!)
- A beautiful letter from a very dear friend. (Courtney, I feel so blessed to have you as a friend.)
- Matt came into work. (And he came up behind me in a sneaky way only he can do! What a crazy little brother!)
- Saw The Guardian on Saturday night. (A very good movie. My company for the evening was wonderful, a great time was had. More great times to come.)
- A good friend of mine got engaged! (Congratulations!!! Jessie and Dave I am so happy for you.)
- Breakfast after church. (As per-usual, breakfast after church was time well spent with great friends.)

CAN'T BEGIN TO COUNT THE THINGS I HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR
What a weekend! I can't believe that it is almost over, only a few more hours. I have decided to for all intents and purposes measure the weekend via true Hunter style, and measure it in meals.
The first meal was a wedding feast! And what a feast it was, but the food is not the focus here. Yes, the first of the Hunter cousins got hitched over the weekend in a beautiful ceremony at White Point Beach Resort. It was perfect in every. I am so happy for Chantal! And Adam is a wonderful addition to the family. (interesting side note, we knew Adam was a keeper when within 10 minutes of meeting my part of the larger Hunter family, he was already in a pillow fight with my youngest brother, Charlie. Anyone who feels that comfortable with my family really should be an official part of it!) The wedding took place outside, beside the beach, just before the sun went down. It was beautiful. And for those of you who are wondering about the dance...It was not half as bad as I was anticipating. I did dance with each of my brothers once, but there were lots of friends at the wedding, not just family as I was lead to believe, so it didn't get overly awkward! My youngest brother, and the youngest guest at the wedding graced us all with his dance ability by doing the worm for everyone...I have imparted some great dance knowledge and ability to him!
The second feast was Sunday brunch, now there is no real event to mention along with this meal, but the meal itself was so good it was worth blogging about! It was an all you can eat buffet brunch, and since the weekend is being measured in meals, enough said!
Third meal, TURKEY DINNER!!!!! Oh yeah, it was awesome. Also in true Hunter style we had a massive spread and a massive group of people to enjoy it with, 16 all together. A full stomach and a good time was had by all!
So what am I thankful for? Well the food for sure, but that isn't where the list begins or ends. I'm not sure if I could even begin to list everything that should be on that list. And I am not even going to try because I know something important will be left off. So to actually pull the title into my post, I really can't count what I am thankful for. But the grace of God needs to be mentioned. How thankful I am that God sent His son to die for my sins and to stay with me forever. I think of the phrase so commonly used eternally grateful, it takes on a whole new significance.
Thank-you Jesus.
(And a special thanks to Greg for the lift back to the city, you made the trip much more enjoyable!!!)
