Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated American Thanksgiving on Saturday with a group of about 20 co-workers. I was so encouraged by our time together!

.

Thanksgiving is a family holiday, right? And these people have been our family. We have been celebrating our holidays. . . and all our days . . . with these same people for ten years, twenty years, almost thirty years now. We have watched their children grow up and leave the nest, and they have watched ours do the same. Some of the younger kids are still with our group, and as I listened to them, I kept thinking, "How can you be so mature? I remember when you were still in diapers!" Don't worry, I didn't say it out loud.
