This Thanksgiving I spent the day with new friends from church. It was a small crowd - a couple from church, their sister, my boyfriend and I. We had a feast of amazing traditional Thanksgiving food and lots of laughs together. We played games, sang songs - even made some up, and watched a movie. One thing I will never forget from that day...While doing the dishes I heard a booming voice from the other room reading Plato aloud. Matt had found a book called "Harvard's Classics" on their book shelf that had writings from Plato and other philosophers. We each took a turn reading a story aloud with all the voices.
It amazes me that I can be so far from home and still have had such a delightful day. Just a couple months ago I didn't even know this couple who invited me to join them for the day, and now they are new friends. That's something to be thankful for.
These are the lovely ladies that I have had the priviledge of having in Bible study this semester. These women are such a joy and a gift from the LORD. It's amazing to me how much love I have for these girls - they are so dear to my heart and so important to me.
