But before I go any farther--and this may turn out to be a very disorganized post, fair warning--before I go any farther, I want to point out that not everybody is lucky enough to have what I have. I feel as though I stripped my thankfulness down to the basics, and even then, not everybody has them.
Take the children on Reece's Rainbow (you knew it was coming!), for instance. I feel that tonight is my night to get the word out. Across the ocean, in many different countries, lie children with no families to take care of them. They have a roof over their heads, but in some cases even their most basic needs are not provided for.
About religious freedom: I grew up, and continue to live, in a place and time in which Jews are full and equal citizens. The magic and awesomeness of living in such a position was never lost on me, as I know enough of Jewish history to know that this is the exception to the rule. Thank You, God, for my religious freedom, for the privilege of being able to be a Jew and an American, without anybody asking me to choose.
To close, I just want to include pictures of "my" Reece's Rainbow children, "Jacob" and "Tatiana." "Jacob" is my official Prayer Warrior assignment; "Tatiana" is one I took upon myself because I felt something tugging at me and calling me to do so. As I always request during a Reece's Rainbow blurb, please consider getting involved yourself.
