On June 5th, 1977 my entire family migrated from Jamaica to Canada. It was 7 degrees celsius and foggy...and I have loved it here ever since. This July 1 as I celebrate Canada's birthday I will revel in the freedom, enjoying good food, good fun and the fellowship of friends and family. What could be better?
I am thankful to God for the fabulous life I have in Canada. For my Canadian born husband the children. For my Canadian friends. For my Canadian citizenship. For the healthcare and benefits I have as a Canadian. For freedom.
I am not blind to the issues of concern but they pale in comparison to those in almost every other country in the world. Canadians are BLESSED!
This July 1st I will sing O Canada with gusto especially when I get to this part...
God keep our land glorious and free!
and I will celebrate that freedom by acknowledging God's blessings on me personally and on our country at large.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!
