Happy Thanksgiving (Late)

It has been a blessed Thanksgiving.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  I pray this finds you well.  As I reflect back over this past year....it makes me exhausted to just think about it.

We have so many things to be thankful for, I'd like to take this time to list some of those things...

1. Salvation through Jesus Christ.
2. Survived our first year in Haiti and adjusting pretty well.
3. Experienced a major earthquake.
4. Lived through an earthquake and able to minister to those around us in the process.
5. Prayed with many and for many throughout this past year.
6. Breath of life and good health.
7. Wonderful family and friends.
8. Roof over our heads, food to eat, and good water to drink.
9. Survived and healed wonderfully from gallbladder surgery.
10. Financing for surgery - it was neat to see God work it out.
11. Enjoyed furlough.
12. Jessica's confirmation of Salvation.
13. Learning Haitian Creole - slowly, but surely.
14. So many have been sick, God has healed many and continues to heal others.
15. So many have gone to be with HIM in heaven. We continue to pray for these family and friends.
16. The trials of life. Although they are not fun most of the time, they are allowed by the Lord.
17. Surviving homeschooling and I think the children are learning something.
18. Protection when needed.
19. Guidance from the Lord.
20. A relationship with Jesus Christ.

There are many more things to list, but I will just give you the first 20 that popped into my head. It is now a week after Thanksgiving and I am just now getting this posted.  God is good and perfect.  Love y'all.
