Another year older . . . and One More Together!

So much to be thankful for - especially the 24 years with my special man, Jim. What a joy to work along side him in Africa all these years. We came back to Nigeria just 3 weeks after our wedding . . . maybe not the wisest move we ever made, but we have been together . . . on this continent we both love . . . for all this time. So, THANK YOU, Jesus!
Is that a birthday present? Oh yeah . . . still enjoying those too. Special friends (The Siscos) hosted my birthday dinner . . . called it the "teeny bopper" menu (pizza, nachos, and chicken strips), and then blessed me with some very thoughtful gifts. My hubby bought me enough material for the tailor to set me up with a complete wardrobe before we begin our travels in US on deputation . . . again? Well, deputation number six is on the way and will be different this time . . . Candra (our youngest) with us for a few months (until she completes grade 12), and then it will be back to where we started . . . Jim and I . . . on the road again!
Really thankful I still have so much to celebrate . . . another year in Jesus and one more year together!
