A day for giving Thanks. I feel as though that that is all I have been doing since I am here! I don't need a special day to do it. I honestly have been giving thanks non stop. From the safe trips all over, to the gracious hosts everywhere, to the beauty of the surroundings, to the time to even be here, to the touching sendoff prayer this morning at the little church, to the flow of patients and their treatment, to the miracle of hiring the doctor AND the nurse, to the Holy Spirit who has been faithfully surrounding me the whole time, to my special friendship with Jan, to the peace and refreshment I have found here, to my faithful church family, to my beautiful biological family who have supported, loved, and encouraged me to go, to the amazing number of friends who pray and donate and follow my crazy adventures, to my clean, comfortable little room at the clinic, to the hand made clothes rack and shelf, made just for me, to rice and beans and tortillas and plenty to eat, to my I Pad and Facetime, allowing me to communicate and see my family, to the pleasure of reading not just one, but several books, to the Bible study that we did, and to new ways to talk to The Lord, and new commitment to make Him first in my life, to walking and weight loss!, to my job waiting for me at home ( i hope...) and the nurses who have covered for me in my absence, to turkey and the fixings and a warm family dinner with the Feliciano family! 
I give Thanks.
To the little faces and hugs at the other end, as I return home. They said they would miss me at Thanksgiving.... 
Yes, indeed, I have much to be thankful for.
So, if you try real hard, you can come up with a list of things to be thankful for, too. Even in dire, or ordinary circumstances, God is so good, and his blessings abound!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Chiapas.
