This was of course Mekdes' and Tigist's first Thanksgiving.
Our family (minus me, since I was still getting over a stomach virus) started the day off by going to Mass, then in the afternoon we all headed down to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's home for Thanksgiving dinner. Kevin's parents were there too. So nice to be with family!
On a personal note, there are two things in particular--among my many, many blessings--that I found myself thankful for this year.
One of them is of course the fact that Tigist and Mekdes are HOME. With us. They are a delight in every possible way, and it's as if they've always been here. I continue to be in awe of their transition. Oh the joy they bring to each of our hearts!
The second thing I am grateful for is Christ and His Church. Since being received into the Catholic Church a month ago or so, I have been continually amazed and humbled by the way God has worked in our lives through the Sacrament and through His body here on earth. How sweet it it is to receive the Eucharist each week, and how blessed we are by the many friends God has brought our way. How sweet it is to be home.
I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving as well!
