We celebrate countless blessings this year, not the least that the five of us slept together under one roof last night as Anna is visiting from California for a few days.
As a child we celebrated with my Dad's family for a HUGE Thanksgiving breakfast and then my Mom's side around 4 p.m. for more traditional Thanksgiving feast.
When I married Cory, lunch with his Mom's side made the pacing of eating even more important!
The breakfast meal faded out early in our marriage but the other two we've enjoyed every time we're Stateside in late November.
This year as tradition, we feasted with Cory's side.
The TerAvest side celebration moved to Friday to give my nephew Ty another day to adjust to moving from ICU on Wednesday and to hopefully allow his system to continue to heal so he can enjoy a bit of Thanksgiving food.
Thank you for all the prayers for Ty following his serious car accident on Nov. 17. He continues to do well and will soon transition to rehab for all his serious ortho injuries.
We praise the Lord for being together. I'm especially thankful that I was able to be present for my brother Todd and Beth during the long days of Ty being in the ICU for ten days.
We are thankful for his rapid progress and healing.
Lord willing Anna heads back on Saturday afternoon and we will start our return trip to Zambia on Tuesday, December second.
We uncharacteristically started packing earlier than usual, which ended up fortunate with me spending most of last week at the hospital.
