Something to be thankful for!

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. 

Give thanks to Him; bless His name.

Psalm 100:4

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with another (large!) family that works at YISS.  They were some of the first people we met in Seoul, and honestly - I can't imagine being here without them around!  It was fun to host the meal, have lots of kids running around, and share holiday traditions.

Gingerbread (graham cracker!) houses!

During this holiday season, we definitely miss our family and friends back in the States.  However, one of the joys of Thanksgiving is to take a step back and look at all you have to be thankful for.  Harry Ironside once said, "We would worry less if we praised more.  Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction."  How true that is!  And we have SO MUCH to be thankful for:  good health, a good job, great friends, and the ability to stay connected with loved ones on the other side of the world!   Most importantly, we praise God for His saving grace, for His kingdom work around the world, and for His plan to use His people for His good purpose.   Give Thanks to the Lord, all the earth!
