Greetings from the warmer land of Haiti,
As I sit here and write this post the temperature is currently 81 degrees. Which means we may hit the low 90's by this afternoon. Yes it Thanksgiving but the weather makes it feel more like summer than fall. Here in Haiti, Thanksgiving is not an average Holiday that is celebrated. They simply go about there business and it just another day. For us Americans Thanksgiving is a very special day and for you in the states this day will be filled with family, friends and lots of Turkey and dessert. lol but for us on the field and yes it will be a little different for Jonathan and I as this will be our first Thanksgiving and Christmas on the field. We have a get together with other Missionaries on the field. We will have Pig, Turkey, stuffing and desserts among other things. I'm sure it will be a great day. Please pray for us as we miss our loved ones back home. In my English class the other day I was explaining why we as American's celebrate Thanksgiving and why this day is so very special. I explained how it all started with the Pilgrim's and the Indians and how they got together and broke bread and set there differences aside. Also how this Country (USA) was based on Godly principles and the Bible. Thanksgiving is a day where we express all we are Thankful for but I also told them we should be Thankful everyday not just at Thanksgiving. We need to Pray and Thank the Lord everyday. So today on this very special day I am Thankful for my hubby Jonathan. He completes me and he is my God given Helpmeet. I am also thankful for my salvation and for the grace I am given everyday. I am human and I do make mistakes and I'm Thankful for 2nd chances. I'm Thankful for Veteran Missionaries (Fred and Joyce Wall) aka the in-laws for there wisdom and allowing us to come to Haiti and work with them. I am also Thankful for my parents, all they taught me growing up and giving me and showing me what love is and never giving up on me. So many other things I could say but there is a few. Question for you what are you Thankful for? Have you prayed and thanked the Lord for all the undeserving blessing he gives us each and everyday.
Have a great day!
Because of His Blood,
Christina Wall
