Last night was our Third Annual Thanksgiving at the Nall's gathering. This is truly one of our most favorite times of the year! It started two years ago in Nashville when we invited some of our closest friends into our home the week before Thanksgiving and decided at that point that this must be a yearly tradition. Though we miss our Nashville family so much, we are thankful to the Lord to be right where He has us this year in Birmingham. The following three photos are true treasures. Thanking the Lord today for the blessing of family AND friends that are like family!!

We will close with a few verses that Brandon read before the meal last night. Habakkuk 3:17-19 says, "Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places." No matter what you may be going through right now, we pray that this strong affirmation of faith will soothe your soul as you are reminded to trust in God, no matter the circumstance. As we enter into this time of thanksgiving and gather with those closest to us, may we REJOICE in our amazing Savior first and foremost!! He deserves ALL our praise!
Oh, this looks like so much fun! Sad we missed it! Sure would love some yummy turkey right now...but we have a lot to be thankful for here in India :)
