It is Thanksgiving day... in Africa!
Our pastor, Norman, and his wife, Gabi, invite us, the STINT team and our good friends, Ester, Bob, and Isaac over for a traditional American Thanksgiving meal. thier Daughter is a US citizen in OH, and she introduced them to the holiday which they eagerly embraced.
I am called on to pray, so I begin with a famous Jewish prayer that says, "Blessed be the L^rd G^d, King of the Universe, who created us, sustains us, and brought us to this day."
We enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal complete w turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce and pumkin pie. Wow!
Afterwards we sit around recounting the things for which we are thankful.
I give a very short version to my arrival here 2 weeks before Brenda. I share how much I am thankful that G^d gave me such a wonderful wife, and what a Blessing she is to me and to so many.
We all have a great deal for which to be thankful, and Brenda is at the top of what is a very long list. I am also thankful to you my friends, scattered around the world.
Thanks be to G^d indeed!!
