Look who came to visit me!Yeah, this was a while ago, but I'm just now posting some pics. Laura and Sarah came all the way from Prague, but my parents win by coming all the way from America!
I introduced my parents to this awesome coffee shop and some Hungarian sweets.
Recently we had a Thanksgiving to remember.
Check out these turkeys! An 18 kilo and a 12 kilo. That's the weight of a small child.
And then all the pies....oh, how I love food!
Thanksgiving was refreshing and sweet, a blissful time away with friends to spend time in fellowship, and give thanks for the joys and the hardships of being away from family but being united together in purpose and service. We recited this prayer that Matt thinks is by Stanley Hauerwas: "The beauty of a green leaf turning red, the brightness of a stranger's face, the joy of a cat at play, the sheer wonder coming from the generosity of friends--for all this and so much more we give you thanks, we praise you, gifting God. Help us remember, however, that you have made us, through Jesus Christ, your thanksgiving sacrifice for a world that refuses to acknowledge its giftedness. Let us rush again and again to your feast of the new age, where you provide the space and time for us to enjoy being your joy."
Amen.
