Thankful Beyond Measure

Today I've spent Christmas with a missionary family here. I am always humbled by the goodness of God's people. This wonderful family has taken me in as one of their own and treated me like part of the family. I almost cried this morning spending time with them. Something new that I've never experienced before was a treasure hunt for presents. A tradition this family has is writing a quatrain to find your next gift. So you read the poem to make it to your next present and next clue. They were quite amusing poems and we had many laughs. We read the Christmas story at lunch and it's always good to be reminded of the importance of why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. It's been a great day! :-)
