Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful idea (more than just the day before all the Christmas sales start!) that we should be thinking about throughout the year. When in Ecuador, we don't have a chance to really celebrate as it's not something from the history of that part of the world. Yesterday we spent our Thanksgiving holiday with Steve's parents and his sister's family came over for dinner too. We had gone to a Thanksgiving service earlier in the day and it had started us thinking.

This year we are especially thankful for:

• God's faithfulness to us.
• For Pauli's uneventful pregnancy and the birth of our healthy son.
• For the opportunity to be involved in a church startup and get to know several young Christian families.
• For the opportunity to meet with many of our support team this year.
• For the many answers to prayer with Pauli's citizenship.
• For the chance the girls have had to get to know their grandparents.

Did you get a chance to reflect on that for which you should be thankful? Feel free to leave comments on your reflections.
