Giving Thanks

 

. . . for two grandsons who had birthdays this week. I borrowed the latest photos I found on FB. Malachi turned 23 on Sunday the 21st, and Zion 12 on Tuesday, the 23rd.

. . . for the ladies Bible Study titled God is for us, Romans 8. Tuesday evening we had our final gathering and shared what we'd learned--stories, testimonies and memory verses.

MeeSun shares concerns about her upcoming trip to Korea to care for her parents.

. . . for Michael able to spend a few days spray painting walls in Stephan and Karen's new house. Their goal is to be in by Christmas.

. . . for Michael being in charge of the Thanksgiving meal. Our family gathered on Friday, which gave us two days to prepare the feast.

. . . for God's providence evidenced in the story of that first Thanksgiving.

Rebecca put together the reminder of the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving
and read the story.

. . . for each family member, those who came and those who couldn't.  I was busy enjoying them and took fewer photos than ever. Wish I had gotten a picture of Michael sharing his thoughts on the Thanksgiving Psalm, Ps. 100. And also of him carving the turkey and serving each person.

. . . for all the family sharing--the good, bad, and the ugly--"in everything give thanks."

 

. . . for the game of Nerts, our family version, the rowdier the better! We hadn't played it in years. Sam is now the champion (sorry, Leah).

. . . for the many expressions of thanks that filled our Thanksgiving Alphabet.

 

. . . for once again being able to meet my next chapter publishing deadline! 

. . . for the discipline and time required to research and write Chapter 19.

What was the highlight of your Thanksgiving?
