Thanksgiving on Monday

Every year around this time, Jessie and I have discussions about what we are going to do about Thanksgiving. It is one of the holidays we want to celebrate but find that when you add all the cost up of buying the turkey and all the fixings to go with it, it is a expensive meal for just the family. We use to have another American missionary couple that we would celebrate together as well as share in the cost, but after they moved to another part of Mexico we have celebrated it on a much lower budget. Last year, we had pecan and apple pie for desert but I can't even remember what we ate. To be honest when you have kids that rarely eat mashed potatoes and gravy, Thanksgiving food is very different food for our kids. Our kids eat bean tacos better than anything else we give them that is "American".

When it comes to Thanksgiving we have to work around our schedules as well. For example today, Levi and Kianna are at school, I have a meeting to go to, we have someone coming and staying at our house for the next two nights and we have our bible study at our house tonight. Then tomorrow we are celebrating Kianna's 6th birthday and having a party for her. So Jessie and I decided that Monday we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving. We can do that when we are all by ourselves. We do miss the time we would be spending with our families during this time but we know this is where God has called us to be. We are blessed to be here. We sacrifice our time with our families for Jesus. We are grateful for all that God has done in our lives and through our ministry. We can see clearly how God is moving in the lives of the people we see on a weekly basis.
