Thanksgiving Home Away From Home

We have so much to be thankful for this year! God has blessed us in so many ways...we have our health, friendships, needs and comforts, and we are so happy to be serving Him in Costa Rica. Most of all we are thankful that God uses broken vessels for His glory! What an awesome God we serve!

This Thanksgiving we gathered with our American friends who are also away from home serving the Lord here in Costa Rica. Of course, it wasn't grandma's house...but it came pretty darn close. We all pitched in to buy 20 roasted chickens (which ended up being even tastier than most turkeys) and brought several dishes each to complete our dinner. One lady who recently visited the states thought ahead and brought real sweet potatoes back in her luggage to share with all of us! We shamelessly admit we licked our plates clean and enjoyed every bite! After we were sufficiently stuffed we all hung out and played card games...what a blast!
