Thankful for Thanksgiving

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner at Roberta's house last night. It was a lot of fun and having a "traditional American" meal was great. The company included 3 "foreigners"...one Brit, Annie Mettie...one Scot, Morag...one Dutchman, Hans. So we laughed together about some of the strange traditions and phrases that make perfect sense in your own culture, but not in other cultures. We went around the table and took the time to say what we're thankful for (in short, I said support). We just spent time in one another's company. It was really a blessing to be able to have that. I almost had to be rolled home, but luckily I managed to walk. =]
I do miss my family (and friends), but as I say a lot, God is guiding me through and providing in ways I didn't know were possible. Each day I am amazed by his grace and remain thankful for the opportunities I encounter daily.
