Unit Study News
Amanda's Corner
Dear Friends,
I hope this note finds you well and having enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Like many of you, we gathered around the table with so many blessings to count and so much to be thankful for - the list goes on and on. And as I glanced around the tables at the many happy faces, I had to thank the Lord for each and every person that joined us for our special day of Thanksgiving.
During the holiday weekend, I found a bit of time to reflect on the many blessings that God has provided, and you were on the list -- those of you who have encouraged me, used the unit studies, provided kind advice and shared so many stories of successful learning in your families. You all are so important to me, and your children are the main reason that I keep on trying to help. We are all so truly blessed.
While I know that not everyone can have their families and friends gathered round for the holidays, I have learned over the years that is still so important to remember them in our prayers, with cards and pictures, as well as words of thanks for what they have meant to you and your family. Sometimes the simplest gesture of thanks can make someone's day so much sweeter - making a difference in their outlook on life.
With about 30 various people gathered here on the farm over the long weekend, we had quite a crowd, and things were never dull. <smile> I tried to take more pictures (aren't digital cameras nice), and share more memories - worrying less about the food and more about the time together. I think the younger crowd learned quite a bit about family memories going back several generations, and what a blessing it is to know that these stories and this history will continue to be passed along. There were stories of family members in the wars, family clans and Scottish castles, cooking secrets from generations past, and so many smiles and so much laughter! Some of our guests commented that their faces hurt from laughing so much!
I pray that you and your family enjoy this very special holiday season with friends and family, whether in person, by mail or email, by phone or cell phone, share the message of the season -- thanksgiving and the gift of love from God above!
Blessings to you and yours,
Amanda B.
