WOW! That is about all I can say to sum up how much we have to be thankful for! If you read the last blog, you know that we had a LOT of miles to put in in 6 days. Well, we were so blessed in safe passage, needs met and fabulous fellowship along the way!Our annual trek to Saugerties and Red Hook, NY was a huge reunion! We went up on Friday, set up at the church on the way and then on to our dear friends Tim & Edna. We stayed with them through the weekend and had an excellent time of fellowship. On Sunday, we spent a wonderful 12 hours basking in the Lord's presence and hanging with HIS kids. We really did not want to head home.
Monday we had an impromptu firewood run and the Lord blessed James with another contracting job. We got heat for the winter, and income to come shortly! We serve an AWESOME God!
Tuesday we left early for Harrisburg, we needed to get our birth certificates so we can apply for our passports for SCOTLAND!!!! After digging through all our files we determined we didn't have our birth certificates after all... and even if we did, they probably didn't have all the info that is now required to get a passport. So.... off to Harrisburg we went and we walked out before noon with certificates in hand!
On to the next destination... the Wilkes Barre region where we had presentations Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Our hosts, the Klines welcomed us with open arms and we have new family in north central PA. We were thoroughly blessed by the families of both congregations that we ministered to. Then we hit the road home to return in time to welcome in Thanksgiving. We went to bed with full hearts and gratitude for the way the Lord allows us to be a blessing to so many.
Thanksgiving day we got to hang with our great son and Tracy's parents. It was a relaxing and reflective day.
We pray that your Thanksgiving was just as much a blessing and as the day approaches to celebrate our Savior's birth, that you will reflect upon the TRUE Reason for the Season!
