This Thanksgiving is something of a milestone for us. For the first time in our immediate family, one of us won’t be with us this day. Cameron was picked up at Moody by Beth’s sister yesterday afternoon and he will be enjoying Thanksgiving with their family (actually with her husband’s Mike’s family). We are heading up to Amealco in a few minutes to share in Thanksgiving with our co-workers.
As always, there is much to be thankful, both for the blessings we enjoy and as well as the hardships we do not face (does anyone else think in the negative like this?). It’s good to be alive and in good health. We pray you are enjoying a blessed Thanksgiving wherever you are and know that God love you, us, with a love that never fails, and never ends.
