Thanksgiving in Berlin

GIVING THANKS
Any day is a good for reflecting on God's goodness to man but it is a little extra special today as people meet with family and dear friends and give God thanks.
I was reminded of Ps. 8 where David wrote about the magnificence of God, but yet He cares for us, we are special to God. It is very humbling.

As Lucy and I think about this past year, how incredible it has been, we are so grateful to our heavenly Father for all of His blessings. He has brought us so far. Again, David comes to mind in 2 Sam.7:18, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me this far?" Two years ago this reality wasn't even on our radar, but here we are in Berlin, Germany.

Yes, we miss family and friends. We'd love to be there to see our parents, children and grandchildren. But God's word is clear, following His will is not an easy road. We thank God that our family and friends understand why we are absent. We are looking to the eternal perspective. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

TURKEY IN BERLIN
Thanksgiving is not a holiday recognized in Germany. We did see that a restaurant or two advertised a T'Day Dinner. There must be enough Americans around to make it worthwhile.
BUT, we will not be without turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, or any of that good stuff!!!!!
Rock Berlin is hosting a turkey dinner this evening with all the trimmings, mmmm! And if that isn't enough, Lucy and I will participate in an outreach turkey dinner Friday evening hosted by one of the members at RB. Christina is having a dinner for her co-workers and some of the people in her apartment building. The only thing missing besides you all will be American football! Oh well, can't have everything. Pray that hearts will be touched for Christ.
