I’m just stopping by to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving<\/b> (which is today in Canada)!<\/p>\n

We are especially thankful for the news we got from La Villa Castilla<\/a><\/b> today.  You can read more at their blog here<\/a>, but the short story is that he didn’t need bypass surgery, but just had minor surgery and will be released tomorrow.  The doctors are still concerned – wondering why these blockages keep happening.  So, there are questions to be answered, but so far so good.<\/p>\n\n\n

We didn’t do a lot to celebrate Thanksgiving today, except eat leftovers.  We did have friends over for Thanksgiving, David and Lety and their one year old daughter Giselle.  We’re thankful for them too!<\/p>\n

Here’s Giselle with some silly clown hair from our kids’ dressups.  Hannah came out dressed as a clown earlier, and Giselle was just captivated.  \ud83d\ude09  Hannah never had such a good audience!<\/p>\n

Anyway, we have a lot to be thankful for.  Sometimes I think God drops Thanksgiving right down into more difficult times in our lives, to remind us that there’s still so much good.<\/p>\n

Good from a good God!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
