We celebrated with fellow missionaries who "gathered together" at the Pana house. It a former missionary residence but is now used by missionaries and churches to "refresh." It is located at Panajachel, on the shores of Lake Atitlán, probably the most beautiful place in the world...not a bit prejudiced :) We had 31 in attendance for the mid day meal which included turkey and dressing, carrot souffle(Picadilly style, no less!, brocolli, squash, mashed potates, green breans, corn casserole, corn on the cob, peas, salads (too many to mention), and desserts -- pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cheery pie, cherry cheescake, cheescake with fresh strawberries,chocolate chess pie, fudge, brownies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and so many more. Needless to say, we were all STUFFED and satisfied. What a sweet, sweet time of worship we shared as we gave thanks for this past year. Nothing like wonderful friends who share the love of Christ in response to the call of God on their lives. Oneness...how sweet.
Then we came home and continued our Thanksgiving tradition...football and decorating. Yep, we enjoyed the Georgia-Georgia Tech (BIG SMILEY...Go DAWGS!) and decorating the house for Christmas. Traditions are fun to celebrate, but more importantly the Reason for the Season gives Meaning and Purpose to the celebrations. Thank you Father for the gift of Your Son who has provided free Salvation for ALL who will receive.
May your celebrations bring glory to Heaven as you worship His Majesty.
