Thanksgiving this year involved all the yummy goodies we traditionally think of when we think of Thanksgiving supper. This year I was able to spend it with two great families that once upon a time lived in Nicaragua. It was like spending the holiday with family. Anyone who knows me knows that I love spending time with kids and that is precisely what I got to do over the long weekend. Thanks Vern and Kelly and Nathan and Amber for sharing your kiddos and stories with me this Thanksgiving.
Next you might question my sanity but I am thankful for rainy days and flat tires. Yes you did read that correctly. I was delivering some meals to the elderly in a nearby neighborhood yesterday while it was raining outside. As I was getting one of the meals out of the back seat I heard what sounded like air coming out of my rear tire. Sure enough it was and I could see right where the hole was because of the bubbles it was making with the rain water. Now considering that fact that I don't live in Nicaragua where there is tire shop on almost every corner I got a little nervious so I prayed and asked God to show me a place nearby to get the tire fixed. I pulled out on the main road and went not even a quarter mile and here it was.
I truly have so much to be thankful for in my life. God has blessed us richly with his beauty throughout creation, His presence and His Word.
