Happy Thanksgiving

Tonight we met at the home of Bob & Shirley Aldrich for a delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal. There were 12 of us joining from all over the world in giving Thanks for our Heritage. There were those from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Canada, Mexico and the USA. We shared a meal, sang hymns of Praise and Thanksgiving, prayed and fellowshiped in the Love of Jesus. What a great time was had by all. For 2 of them it was the first time they have had the privilege of this celebration. Tomorrow as you gather with family and friends we will be in meetings with the BFC/SNU/Swaziland Partnership Group. We will have a meal together so in some ways we will continue to celebrate.

We have so much to be thankful for. We love you all. Especially the Carley's: Donnie, Cheryl, Seth & Emma, the Stemen's: Aaron, Ruth, Miriam, Josiah, & Gideon, the Wise's, Kenny, Cindy, Kenna, Jaci & Bretyn, the Mund's, Nate, Annette, Lucas & Braden. Have a wonderful day. We are praying for you and miss you all.

Hey guys! We had Velda's funeral today. I encountered Sarah Rupert and we talked about how we would miss her but what a blessing it is to know she isn't in pain or sick any more. Harry II says he is looking for her and then gets really sad because she is not there. We had a wonderful, well, wonderful as a funeral dinner can be. The family felt wrapped in the love of the church, which is really the whole point.
I can't feel totally sad, because Velda is having Thanksgiving in heaven.
Love you guys!

Happy Thanksgiving Will and Karis!! We are planning on dinner at 2:00, can you make it?? I think we will all be there and I'm looking forward to it. You will be very missed if you decide you can't make it, we'll just say the family prayer extra loud.
Blessings to you this day.
I love you,
Ruth
