It's Thanksgiving Week! Our kiddos had two days off from school this week and are super pumped about that. I am glad because that's two days that our broken-armed son won't be rushing the halls of middle school with a held-together-by-screws-and-metal-plates-but-no-cast-or-outer-protection-whatsoever arm. Here are highlights from my week:
#1 Our son went back to school, metal plates and all! (see what I'm talking about here) He's a tough kid and we are SO THANKFUL for the amazing way the Lord has made our bodies to overcome trauma.
#2 The Lord has also made the body of believers to help each other overcome trauma! We are SO THANKFUL for so many friends who surrounded us with help and encouragement during our son's injury. We are SO THANKFUL for family who, while they could not be with us, prayed for us.
#3 Two of our kids participated in a service day this week. How great is that? SO THANKFUL for a school that guides our kids to think beyond themselves. S visited a home for the "infirmed and elderly". He was not able to play clarinet as was planned, but he was still able talk to some of the people and to pass out cookies. J helped clean at a soup kitchen for homeless people.
#4 This week I enjoyed meeting for prayer with an Indonesian friend. It blessed my heart to join with a fellow-believer and to come before the Lord in two languages. THANKFUL that we can approach the throne in any language and THANKFUL that, because of Jesus, we are sisters!
#5 Thanksgiving of course! We are SO THANKFUL to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with some of our overseas family. We had all sorts of yummy food and great conversation. It was fun to see the kids all enjoying the food and fellowship as well.
What was YOUR Thanksgiving Week like?
