While the original Thanksgiving had pilgrims and Indians around the table thanking God for the food and strength to survive a long winter in a new land, today's Thanksgiving is quite different. Our memories revolve around being with family, eating way too much, and falling asleep in front of the football game!
This year will be quite different for us. You may wonder, what will we do for Thanksgiving? Our morning will be the same as other days with all of us in class. Then in the afternoon we will be going to the Higher Grounds Coffee House, run by Youth with a Mission (YWAM). Each year, they host a Thanksgiving Day meal. We don't really know what to expect. We know the dinner is limited to 100 people. We have invited our teachers to join us and we may invite a few others who have helped us greatly as we have learned to live in this strange land. I was thinking today, it is not too different than the original Thanksgiving.
We want to wish each and everyone of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Regardless of how you celebrate, Thanksgiving is a day set aside to remember all that God has provided. We certainly are thankful to Him. We have seen His hand and provision through so many good and hard times. Take some time and give thanks
