So Thankful


What a treat to have all our family home for Thanksgiving! With Kezia driving 12 hours from Kansas City, Josiah and Jorjette coming up from Indiana, and Kenan on break from Grand Valley State University, this was one of our first years to stay in Michigan for the holiday. We spent three full days together ... laughing, chillin', playing Wii, tossing a football, watching a private "Nefarious" screening, and simply catching up on each others' lives. On Thanksgiving Day, we savored the turkey and all the trimmings, but the most satisfying part of the meal was the time of "giving thanks." We took turns sharing those things for which we are most thankful and it was good to hear each other's hearts. It isn't often that all six of us can be together, so we cherish these moments. We are so thankful to God for His kindness, faithfulness, and provision to us as a family.
