The Hardest Thing
What's the hardest thing about being a missionary? Without a doubt it's the holidays, being so far from home and family. Here comes Thanksgiving in a couple days. Another one far away, and in a country that doesn't even celebrate it.
But I have much to be thankful for: healthy kids, a loving family and wife, the basics (if nothing too fancy), and I enjoy my life and my work. Would I rather be home for Thanksgiving instead of here in Mexico? SURE! And to be honest, sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Sometimes I'm ready to just pack up and go home.
But here we are, and here is where it seems God wants us to be. And when I talk about giving thanks, He is the object of my thankfulness. I wouldn't change anything that meant changing THAT!
