We've been blessed over these past 2 summers to 'host' our summer teen ministry interns. Two summers ago, it was Courtney. This past summer, Jami. Well, this past Friday night, Jami came 'home' to stay with us for Thanksgiving. It's nice to have her here again. And an added blessing is that she invited her mom, who lives in New Hampshire, to come here for the week as well. So tonight we got to meet Sherri. We picked her up at the airport, amidst lots of other families welcoming folks home for the holidays... we came home and had dinner and sat around with the fire going and coffee and brownies, talking as if it was just a typical family get-together - kind-of like we'd known each other forever. It was a really nice time... I had to laugh tonight when Sherri was giving Jami a hard time about saying that she was 'going HOME' for Thanksgiving -- she was trying to figure out when Huntsville became 'home.' :)
So tomorrow I have another opportunity to spend some time with my other 'adopted' daughter, Courtney. We'll be having lunch together. I always look forward to times spent with her to hear about what has been happening in her life and where God is leading her. :) She'll always have a special place in our family...
It's funny how God works and how he brings people into our lives.
I'm especially thankful tonight for how God has 'extended' our family to include Courtney and Jami and their families. What a blessing. :)
