"Our intentionality is a key ingredient determining whether we notice God everywhere or only in church or only in suffering or nowhere. It all depends on how we choose to fashion our world."
-Elizabeth Dreyer, "Earth Crammed With Heaven"
We celebrated Thanksgiving early this year. As far as I know, only three families with American roots are living in the Solomon Islands, and one of these families is flying back to the USA this week.
So, in the midst of the consultant checking and the general chaos of this week, we continue to set aside time and methods to help us be intentional. Our Thankful Turkey continues to grow, this time we again had little hands to write on feathers. I love having adopted little ones around.
We will leave Mr. Turkey up until Advent begins, even though we've already enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast. Because who doesn't need reminders to count their blessings?!?
Every day, I need fresh eyes to see the abundance that God pours out and a heart soft enough to allow those refreshing blessings to soak in.
