I remember vividly Thanksgiving 2005. My family was spending a year in Lausanne, and the Smiths had very generously welcomed us into their family of friends. The food was terrific, but more than that, we were so thankful to be able to gather with friends at a special time of giving thanks. Even now back in the US our family is so thankful for the life lessons we learned through the Smiths. They lead by example and show those of us who don’t often make it to church what being Christians means. My thankful heart is thankful for their friendship!

I can see you saying that. I can’t see Wife saying that.

I’m glad you had a good time. I enjoyed the time of prayer. Physical distance seems so much smaller when you are praying for a brother far away.

The holidays can be filled with mixed emotions such as seeing your “Mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your brand new Truck.” I know with my wife she is always frantic about the food prep and how it’s going to turn out as well as making sure I get all of my “chores” done to make the house looks festive as well as clean. But then we enjoy ourselves so much with family and friends and hey, we made out as well with the leftovers.

I miss your wife’s cooking. It was much better than what Bryn and I cooked up, but then again that is not saying much. Since my return to the US, I have not eaten pasta.

Only kidding….or am I???
