Give thanks to the LORD for He is good!  His faithful love endures forever!  Psalm 107:1

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Severin again this year.  It was an international crew - American, Croatian, German and Dutch - but with lots of traditional American Thanksgiving food - or as American as we could make them over here.  Ellie Beth made a triple batch of sweet potato casserole and I made my family's apple raisin stuffing.  It was a great time of feasting, singing, praising God, and fellowship.  We even managed a photo shoot as our co-worker, Daniel, graciously agreed to take family photos.

 

It has been a good year of growth and stretching.  Here are a few of the things that I are thankful for...

  • Our Sovereign and Holy God, full of grace and mercy
  •  Jesus, perfect King and perfect Savior
  • the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
  • The Word of God
  • Dan, Lydia, and Ellie Beth
  • family and friends
  • our prayer partners  who intercede on our behalf and lift up our needs to God
  • our financial supporters - who give sacrificially so that we can serve here
  • our supporting churches
  • our team mates and co-workers
  • Frodo, our dog
  • laughter
  • our apartment and our landlords, Dubravka and Stjepan
  • our church in Malesnica
