Thankful....

We had a wonderful day yesterday sharing Thanksgiving with our families. We obviously have so much to be thankful for and it was nice at the end of the busy day to take a moment and remember all of our blessings....
One little blessing at home safe and sound, and a second little blessing still in our hearts.
As we sat with our families here at home, we had a heavy heart remembering our "family" halfway around the world. In light of the recent scary and disturbing events in Korea, our hearts are very unsettled. When that plane took off from Seoul, I knew that I had left a piece of myself in Korea. Although I didn't realize how much. We have a family there, because we have Jae-min here. His birth family, foster family, and all those working at Holt are our family as well as his. We laughed with these people, we cried with them, and we grew to love them. Isn't that what family is about? So...to our family half a world away.....stay safe and know that we are thinking of you and love you. And that we are eternally thankful for each and every one of you.
And to KB too's family, whoever you may be, may you also stay safe and have peace in your decisions that are to come.
Thankful is an understatement. Please pray for our families safety half a world away.
