Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you all a fun, relaxing, blessed Thanksgiving Day.We're really looking forward to spending time with both sides of the family and to eating way more than any person should eat in one day (or one week). We treasure these moments with family, knowing that next year will most likely look very different. Be thankful. Treasure your loved ones. Watch football. Praise the Lord. Eat turkey.

This day...
God is good. His Grace is sufficient.Much to my dismay, I realized I've been in a slump lately. Stuck in the mire of stinkin' thinkin'. I've been seeing the challenges of life and not the blessings. But the blessings! Oh, the blessings! When we were in language school in Costa Rica, we lived in a small house at the end of a dead-end street. It wasn't much. The couches were scratchy. There wasn't much of a yard. Cockroaches were quite comfortable there. We had to walk to our language school (it was uphill by the way). At first, when the adventure was new I loved the entire experience. But as time wore on, that hill to school got steeper, the hou
