November's Closing
Hello, good people! How were your Thanksgivings? Full of food and naps, I hope! Ours was really nice. Just staying in one place was quite the treat, although I'll admit having a twinge or two when I called home and could hear the party going on in the background. But, it was a good thing. Czarina helped me in the kitchen, and we made a good spread. I enjoyed every second of it.
That next day, King Pen's parents came for a visit. They just left a little while ago, after a full and fun weekend. We showed them around a bit, shopped some, and visited. Today, we also became members of the church we've been visiting since we moved here, and then we all ate dinner with a family from the church. It was a very pleasant afternoon! It was a good debut to the holiday season.
Oh, let me back up and say that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we got an unexpected surprise... King Pen recieved a lovely and generous Christmas bonus! It will go to the root canal that King Pen just found out he has to have a few days ago. Oh well! I wish it could go straight towards baby expenses, but the truth of the matter is that God answered an immediate need within days of us finding out about it. I am grateful for that, and I trust that He will continue to provide for the needs of each day. If we don't have everything settled before this baby comes (like the van and having the midwife paid in full), I have faith that it will all work out somehow in the end. He makes a way even when I don't see it coming, and I am thankful for that. God's provision in this situation was an appropriate reminder to the Thanksgiving season... it really got me focused on my attitude and God's abundance.
Well, I am going to go enjoy the rest of my Sunday afternoon before another week begins. Love and snuggles and leftover turkey to all!

Congrats on the bonus....it would have been so great if you could have put it all towards already established needs, but isn't it amazing how God provide for the unexpected right when you needed it? I can't help but believe that when the time is exactly right, He will also provide the cost of delivering your baby and a vehicle large enough to transport all of you together (preferably in comfort!). love you always.......
