Thanksgiving in Jamaica


The kids and I had a wonderful experience spending time with Aaron and Melissa Black and their two kids (with CSI Ministry in High Gate, Jamaica) during the 2 weeks that Jeffrey was gone. Jeffrey went back to Texas to load our container with all of our personal things and flew back just in time to have Thanksgiving with the rest of us. We are upon our first major holiday here in Jamaica and we feel that we are truly blessed to be able to have friends here to share in this special occasion. We had all the trimmings that we would typically have in the U.S. The Jamaicans, that we shared Thanksgiving dinner with, enjoyed the food right along with us. This isn't a holiday that Jamaica observes but they didn't mind humoring us...actually, I think they'd enjoyed it just the same. I am so thankful that God knows and grants things to us even if it's of simple measure.
