Traveling Thankfulness

My last few weeks have been full of travel and Thankfulness.  Driving across the country has given me many opportunities to see God's handiwork.  I have been awed by falcons flying and on predator birds perched on posts near busy highways.  I have seen the works of human creativity and been thankful for that glimpse of God's creativity that he has shared with us.  I have enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones, sharing in the simple joys that bind us together.  I have talked about what God is doing in Turkana and how He has blessed me and allowed me to be part of that.  These weeks have been full of many things, but underneath it all has been a ceaseless flow of thankfulness to the Lord.  Here are a few things that have made me pause to ponder and to give thanks.
