Family Matters: Thanksgiving

Hello everyone!
I wanted to give you a little peek into what our Thanksgiving was like. It is a little late, and most of you are already in Christmas mode, if you weren't already before Thanksgiving. So, what is Thanksgiving like when you are in Phnom Penh, Cambodia? Here is a picture tour, ending with a video ;)


Kelsi and the women folk cooked--you can read more about that on Kelsi's blog under the "Family Matters: Blog" ;)

 We set up enough table space for our family, the Benz family, and the team that was here for the month.

And we ate yummy food!

 We also downloaded last year's Macy's Day Parade and watched it!

All in all, it was a pretty great Thanksgiving. My brother, Joshua, used to say, "Brother by blood and by the blood." Even though we did not get to spend Thanksgiving with our blood family, we were able to spend it with our family by the blood. One of these days, God willing, we will be back in the States, but for now, we are thankful to be in His will, doing what He has purposed for us to do. I hope your Thanksgiving was fantastic, and my prayer is that it was a reminder for us all to look back on how God has been faithful and thank Him for it.

Here is the video I promised of the preschool singing their Pilgrim Song.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
