Thanksgiving

Rejoice in the Lord always!  I am so thankful that so many of our missionaries in Zambia were able to gather for a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday.  Everyone made such delicious foods!  After we had eaten and all the dishes washed we had a time of prayer for each family who served in Zambia.

The men did even did the dishes!  That is certainly something to rejoice over!  Thanks guys!

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.  

Worship the Lord with gladness; 

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

The day after thanksgiving our guest house manager, Ellen, planned a fun time for the kids.  She rented a jumping castle which the kids really enjoyed.  Above is Matthew and Zoe.

The little ones especially enjoyed jumping!

Here is a pic. with most of  the kids.

After playing outside we came inside and the kids decorated cupcakes to look like turkeys.  They used candy corn for the feathers and then a pumpkin candy corn for the head.
