"Thanksgiving is a spiritual exercise, necessary to the building of a healthy soul. It takes us out of the stuffiness of ourselves into the fresh breeze and sunlight of the will of God."
--Elizabeth Elliot
Flexing my muscles in thanksgiving for:
-for strong, happy, and healthy children who adore their daddy
-a splurge of peach cobbler and ice cream to send Aaron off to Bangkok
-finding somebody we know down at the wharf this morning to take a copy of the new Lavukaleve prayer back to Marulaon for corrections
-the coolest critter EVER, with a striped face, a turquoise body and orange intestines
-the perfect afternoon to have a farewell picnic at the airport while we waited for Aaron to board the plane
-a hilarious rendition of "mother-may-I" that had the whole family laughing out loud
-a game of hide and seek among siblings
-Naomi, who was strong enough to get out of bed for a little while and come to the airport with us
-kites flying in the wind
-a Skype message telling me Aaron arrived safely in Brisbane, the first leg of his journey

Praying for safety for Aaron and that you have a good week too. So glad that Naomi could get out of bed for a bit too. Do you know what that caterpillar will turn into?
Blessings!

I laughed at the "orange intestines." Homeschooling keeps our brains sharp to look for those opportunities, doesn't it? I love it!
you have a lovely blog, and beautiful children, great job!
