This year, Thanksgiving we had two extras.....Bethany and our foster daughter, Yi Mei. We didn't scramble or worry about getting a turkey, we had KFC:-) YEAH!! along with that, garlic bread, broccili, apple crisp, mashed potatoes and the kids made pumpkin spice cookies (thanks to a family who sent Betty Crocker!!). It was a great time of noise (well, that is normal at my house) and just eating away. We didn't have a humungous get together. We are going to try to go to the English fellowship on Sunday and spend some time with friends there.
The kids and Bethany colored turkey to decorate our kitchen door. I understand they reinacted the Thanksgiving story with Anna as the turkey....should have that on record!!LOL!
Since it is not a holiday in Taiwan, I did have to spend some time in the center. I did have to take a momma to court for an adoption hearing. The staff sent me home later saying it is an American holiday GO HOME!! Luke and I went shopping by ourselves!! rarity!
My post on facebook captured alot: this Thanksgiving we are so thankful to be celebrating in spirit with so many people! We are thankful to the Lord for his protection and guidance this past year, but most of all HIS promises of being with us through it all. We have been through alot, we have gotten to know so many families and friends who encourage and support this ministry. Thank the Lord, not just on Thanksgiving for all HE has done and all HE is still planning to do.
