We had a great Thanksgiving celebration this year..............in multiple ways!! Kirstin got a chance to share about this American holiday with Kaleb's class! We talked about why we give thanks and how our tradition of giving thanks got started. The kids came up with a long list of things they are thankful for...........it was a special time together. After our story time and a game, we made the ever famous turkey out of their hand tracings!
Then we prepped our new home for a Thankgiving feast with 7 of the football guys! We got to share in a little more depth about why we give thanks, and to Who we give all our thanks! The guys got to taste some classic American dishes (thanks to some packages from home), and join in on our family tradition of reflecting on the Lord's blessings !! Then we watched a little American football, of course !!! We had a great time having them in our home !!! Here's a "before" and "during" the feast !!
Then we had a Team Thanksgiving gathering at one of our colleague's home !!! Again we had an amazing spread of food and great fellowship !! It was also the debut of our newest team member, Sophia Grace !! She was only 9 days old! It was a good time of sharing all the blessings we have as a team and a chance to reflect on the gracious character of our God!
We are thankful for our American heritage that sets aside time to be thankful !! And we are thankful for the opportunities we've had to share about our God who is worthy of more thanks than we could imagine...........every day of the year !!! We are thankful for YOU..........and your willingness to join us on this journey!
