Gifts Galore

All the boys gave Mathiang a new calendar for 2008! The Psalms!

Franklin got a submarine model. He's

been intrigued since touring one in Charleston!

Mathiang received some nice new towels! Mom and Dad gave each other a computer for Christmas. I think they are trying to catch up with the 21st Century! Ha-ha! Seriously, I think they want to read this BLOG! Just kidding! Mom is eating one of the traditional gifts for Christmas - a chocolate covered cherry!

Mathiang gave the boys matching shirts for Christmas! Adorable!

Mason got a combined birthday and Christmas gift - a pedal for his guitar. It was one thing he really wanted. Christmas wishes come true!

Reid got the only gift he asked for - a turkey fryer complete with peanut oil! We enjoyed a delicious turkey later in the day!

Braden got a cool model airplane and flew it Christmas afternoon!

Weston got a cool paper airplane kit and Braden got a Webkinz!

Reid got me an electronic Sudoku - that game challenges me! Reid also got me the only gift I asked for - a new computer chair! Now I sit comfortably while blogging! Hooray!

Check the BLOG later for some of the best gifts of Christmas morning - the homemade, handmade gifts!

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING ANY POSTS.

DISCLAIMER INCLUDED...

We are a family who loves Jesus. We have followed him to the faraway land of Ghana, West Africa. We know He led us here for His purpose - for His name to be great among the nations. (Psalm 46:10) We are here for His glory alone.

By sharing a glimpse into our lives through our posts we give this permanent disclaimer: Nothing written here is to exalt ourselves. We desire for everything we do, say, think, write, or share to be for God's glory alone. We know this life is not about us, and do not ever wish to make it so. We are not trying to share our "experience." We are not trying to pose for pictures. We are not trying to make you think we are doing something we are not. We are broken, imperfect people made complete through the grace of Christ. There is nothing special about us - except the Lord we follow. We want all glory, honor, and praise to go to whom it is due - Jesus.

Sometimes we may write things that are hard to read. It's not our purpose to offend anyone or impose guilt. Life in Ghana is vastly different from life in America. Sometimes when you read about the struggles of your fellow brother, we hope you are propelled to pray. This blog is our avenue to share how God is revealing more of His heart to us. In the process, God allows us to see deeper into our own. It gets ugly sometimes. We are humbled that He has allowed us to be hands and feet of His work. For this, we rejoice in God's boundless grace.

If you accept the terms of this blog - please feel free to read and enjoy. It's not about us.

"But as for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through him, and I have been crucified to the world." - Galatians 6:14
