Happy Thanksgiving!
Yummy! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green bean casserole, cheesy broccoli, followed by pumpkin pie, fresh fruit and the best Nican coffee.
I just got home from our TG dinner at NCA, (Nicaragua Christian Academy.) Great company, great food! I love pot luck dinners when you get a little taste of all those delicious recipes. Now I am SO full!
And not just with food, I am full of thanks. I have so much to be grateful for. My list could go on and on……
I have learned to be content and at peace in all situations, for that I am thankful.
For my family and friends back home, “The Home Team.” It is your continued support with prayers and finances that enable me to be here/Thank you LORD for placing these people in my life so that I can live among and serve the people of Nicaragua.
I was without a vehicle for so long/I learned a lot about being humble and walking by Faith. (Literally sometimes, especially when walking home in the dark!) I built many lasting and beautiful relationships during that time, as folks invited me into their homes on the nights that I could not get a ride home. I am thankful for all those new friendships that blossomed out of the lack of transportation. And a BIG Thank you LORD that I was able to purchase a used vehicle 2 weeks ago!
For the 25 consecutive days (and many other random ones) that we had no electricity at home/Thank you LORD for teaching me to go without and get my priorities in order.
For all the times I found scorpions, snakes and other critters in my room or close by/Thank you LORD for helping me catch them before they caught me!
During all the dreadful rains and storms of the rainy season/Thank you LORD for keeping me safe.
My daughter has been sick recently and finally had surgery last week/ Thank you LORD for her recovery and your amazing provision (via some terrific friends) of a ticket for me to go back to UK to be with her and my 5 beautiful Grandangels for Christmas.
Today is my Grandson’s First Birthday! He has had some challenging health problems/ Thank you LORD for watching over him and being with him when I cannot, and thank you that I will finally meet him in about 27 days!
I could go on, but I’ll stop here and invite you to share some of yours with me please. I would love to hear from you.
Lifting you up in the power of prayer this Holiday Season. Relax and enjoy God’s Unconditional Love!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
