Tonight before bedtime, the girls started to talk about "The Day of Chicken." They actually meant to say turkey and were talking about Thanksgiving. They obviously don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Mexico and we talked about what the day of Thanksgiving originally meant. This inspired me to be thankful for the big and the small and I wanted to share a few special blessings in my life.
I am thankful for...
Wound up little boys after bathtime
Little girls and little dogs
Fede, an amazing kid with a soft heart, compassionate spirit and dramatic flair.
Little boys in cowboy hats
The CVE Board(From Left to Right: Bill, Jerry, Wayne, Jon, Tom, Marshall)
Afternoons games of "Sandwich" on the lawn

I am also thankful that my family and Jon are coming down! Yeah!

I am soooo thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know you. You have been such and inspiration to me. The love you have for Christ always radiates, I am thankful for your love, chastisment and so much more. Thanks for being a wonderful example to me.
P.S. I'll give you a neck massage anytime.
I am thankful for the opportunities that we have had to come to Magdalena, to read your blog and to see how God truly is blessing your efforts in teaching the children (and those who come to your church)about Christ. We are thankful for the power of prayer which has been so evident in times of joy and sorrow. May God continue to provide grace!
Love in Him, Pete & Debbie Aberle
I am thankful for family, church family, friends, good health and when my focus is truly one of JOY -J=Jesus first, O=others second, Y=Yourself(myself) last.
Blessings to All!
