thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. i have to say that i have a lot to be thankful for... i'm not going to name all of them, but i am so thankful for the Lord's intimate touch in my life. psalm 139:16 has been such comfort to me. P engraved psalm 139 on my wedding ring and read it to A the day she was born. just gives a picture of where we are from. but again in verse 16, it says how God ordained the things that happen in our life before it even happens. of course death is never comforting, but knowing God ordained all this before it happened and that all that is going to happen is also in the palm of His hand... that's comforting. so i'm thankful for God's amazing love for little ol me... a little nobody.
i also realized that people are wondering what my plans are for thanksgiving. i wasn't quite sure what i wanted to do before i went on my trip, but now that i'm back, i have something i really want to do. P and i got a hotel downtown our first thanksgiving together married. i was like 7 months pregnant and wasn't in the mood to travel, so P and i had dinner with friends and went downtown. so that is what A and i are going to do. we are going to stay with the family we live with for dinner and head downtown for a couple nights. we'll ice-skate and do some shopping... see the lights. i'm really excited about. A is excited about swimming at the hotel. :)
thank you all again for your prayers and support throughout this trip. it has been such a blessing to be carried throughout these past five months through prayer.
hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving
