Giving Thanks..

We had such a blessed day with our family.. Jesus was on our lips continually and the unseen guest at this lavish occasion.We spent the day with our family members in McMinnville, OR. It was so special to visit with everyone, especially our aunt who has a doctorite in missiology. She and I spoke for such a long time about mission work and it was a blessing! They were missionaries to Thailand for 20 years and have many exciting stories about the country. It was also so special to give testimony of how the Lord met us in Belize.. of how He provided and ministered to us and others.. how the Kingdom of God was preached by us and our special friends and visitors.. truly I am so blessed that the Lord calls the simple, the weak and the imperfect (too) to serve him! He is so worthy of our whole lives.. of our service to him. We can trust Him for all things and for this, our family is grateful! We are also grateful that not all of us need to be professional missionaries. We only need to be his disciple in order to be qualified to be sent out.

The banquet table just moments before the folding chair which Laura was seated in folded up on her, which sent the Lenox Christmas China plate flying.. full of food of course.. and crashing to the floor. Poor baby had practiced being really good all week and felt terrible about such an incident. She re-told the traumatic story all night, to all who would listen.. :)

 

It was a bit overwhelming to be around so much luxury. We only could think of the last dinner in Succotz Village.. of us eating a feast made by Abolouse.. while they sat and watched us. Without any food. Lord, encourage the hungry today. Reveal yourself to them through your servants and by your spirit.. fill them with spiritual food as well as physical food.. Lord, will you send a revival in this country? A revival of your people... who read your word and are propelled to do more!?
