Thinking on Thankfulness


So, with Thanksgiving coming up, I've been thinking about all that God has done for me recently.


  • I'm thankful for a house with a yard. That's not always common here.
  • I'm thankful for how God worked out us getting this house. He made it clear without a shadow of a doubt what He had for us. There are normally a lot of steps involved that our landlord passed (which never happens) based on the testimony of another missionary.
  • I'm thankful for that other missionary and their family, not only for their testimony and for how they've been such a blessing to our family.
  • I'm thankful for my babies and their happy spirit



  • I'm thankful for how when we needed a dog, we were given one for free. Which also never happens.
  • I'm thankful for friends here in Brazil to help our family adjust.
  • I'm thankful for text messaging and vídeo calling because then family doesn't seem quite so far away.
Like this new sweetie that I can't wait to get my hands on and smuggle!! 

What are you thankful for this holiday season?

    I am so happy for all of the blessings you've been given! Though I will admit, this made me a little sad and miss you all so much more. Can't wait until you visit again.

      He's not like one of those cuddle "I love my doggy" dogs... He's one of those "guard my house and don't bite me" dogs.
