Thanksgiving

Tomorrow our team is celebrating Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. I love all the food, I love spending the day with those I love, I love playing games and watching movies and then eating again.
Tonight I am feeling quite thankful so I thought I would share with you some of the things I am thankful for.

1. I am thankful to be alive. Last weekend I experienced a true medical emergency. I am thankful that we live in a time where emergency surgeries exist as well as competent doctors and generous people who donate blood. Thank you to each of you who give blood.

2. I am thankful for my incredible husband who loves me and cares for me and is currently in the other room making the crust for homemade apple pie.

3. I am so thankful for my adorable, energetic boy. He is truly a light in my life and brings me such joy.

4. I am thankful for everyone who prays for me when they think of it, each month, each week, each day. I can't imagine what my life would be like with without yours prayer.

5. I am thankful for my church family. This week I have really felt lovedby my church family, in the States and here in Salvador. It is an incredible gift God has given us.

Thank you for listening to my thoughts. I am also thankful to be coming to the States on furlough soon where I can see you face to face.
