A blessed Thanksgiving

The Fiscus family had a blessed Thanksgiving. On the day before, Mitch's mom flew in from Wyoming and Jane's parents arrived after having visited Jane's brother in Indiana. These special guests plus a man from our church joined us for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in our home. Even Jake the dog got his share of Thanksgiving table scraps.

Pap & Gigi left on Friday morning while we took Grandma Jeannette to St. George, UT to brave the crowds and do some Christmas shopping.

On Sunday Jeannette worshiped with us at our church in the morning and went with us in the evening to a Christmas hymn sing at a sister Baptist church.

It's been a wonderful Thanksgiving! This week at school Nicole will perform with her class in the elementary Christmas program. On Friday, the 4th, she'll invite several friends to our home for her 10th birthday party. At church, we're decorating for Christmas, preparing for our children's program, and for a Christmas Eve candlelight Lord's Supper.

We thank the Lord for His grace and goodness! We also thank Him for your prayers for the ministry here.
