One day of turkey and sweet potatoes just isn’t enough, so this year we had two! On Friday we invited all of the kids who come to our house to come and have Thanksgiving lunch with us complete with the traditionals plus, of course, boxed macaroni and cheese!
They played…
and cooked…
and ate…
Kate was able to use one of the stories from our new green bag from pavement project to share the Gospel with the kids. They loved the colorful pages and listened carefully to how much the Lord loves them each and wants children to draw near to Him. It was so fun to be able to walk around and talk with them after the story to see what they got out of it. I really think the Lord is doing something in these kids.
Its hard sometimes. We had to make 4 kids leave because they just couldn’t get along with others. We have a “no fighting” policy and its just so hard for kids whose first survival instinct is to put their fists up. So please be praying that the Lord shows them His love in such a huge way that it will overflow to how they love others.
Also, just by way of comment… it was like loves and fishes the way the food went around. We fed 32 people and one 13 pound turkey just shouldn’t do that. And we had leftovers!
