WEEKEND - Thanksgiving in NY

Since home for us is more than 1,000 miles... we decided to not make that journey for Thanksgiving. But, our friends (J, J, & K Buisch) invited us up for the weekend. Most of Jonny's family turned out for the occasion. Farm chores, games, and eating were the top activities. I also brought along one of the traditions from my family in making candy turkeys. So that was fun to have a part of what my family does come with us to NY.


It was also cool to see baby Kate growing by leaps and bounds, being awake and aware of her surroundings.

We had an awesome time visiting with friends, relaxing, and helping with chores. The weekend went all to fast, but was enjoyed every minute. Other than speanding time with old friends, seen only in a great while, the highlight of the trip was the birth of a calf. They were expecting several calves in durign that general time frame, and we were present for one of them. It was amazing to wonder about God's design in procreation and the continuance of life on earth.

So it was a Thanksgiving to which we have much to thank God for in how he has wonderfully provided above what we ever have think or hope.

Quote - Dr. Charles McLain

It doesn't matter who the audience is. It doesn't matter what the occasion is. What does matter is that God has given us this Word to present for Him. This is what makes the occasion solemn. This is what makes it serious. This is what provides us with the need to study.

"There is not in all America a more
dangerous trait than the deification
of mere smartness unaccompanied
by any sense of moral responsibility."
