So, as we went around the table at dinner tonight asking everyone what they were thankful for, Xavier says, "I'm Thanksgiving for cookies". It was hysterical. Three-year-olds are awesome and I'm thankful for ours.
Some of the other things that we're thankful for:
Dara:
- friends and family both near and far
- green bean casserole on Thanksgiving in Africa
- sailing and the fact that we get to do it again in a few weeks
Peter:
- an amazing God of forgiveness, patience, redemption, grace, justice, mercy, and love
- my beautiful, patient, and incredibly wise wife as well as my phenomenal children
- the privilege of serving God on the Africa Mercy amongst this amazing 'family'
- supportive, encouraging, and sacrificial friends
- for the Stewards Department and the honor of leading such fine group of men and women
Grace:
- for the school onboard and all of the teachers that sacrifice their time and give of themselves to help me get a great education
- a chance to travel around the world and learn about and interact with different cultures
- for the close community on the ship and my friends that are always nearby
Elijah:
- animals
- the ship
- tasty food
Malachi:
- fun places to go like the beach, the Seaman's Mission, and Fil-O-Parc
- toys
- my friends
Xavier:
- cookies (as previously mentioned)
- my friends
- for my Daddy
