Our first Thanksgiving in Gastonia!

As our family gathered around the table yesterday I began our meal with a moment of reflection:  "Ten months ago, your mom and I had no idea where God was leading us or where we would be for this Thanksgiving Day.  My heart is overflowed with gratitude and thanksgiving to welcome you to our first family Thanksgiving Day in our new home in Gastonia, NC." Then I prayed for the delicious meal Sharron had prepared and we enjoyed a great time together before going to the family room for football!
