A Thankful November: Keeping in Touch Electronically

Kim is thankful today for exactly the same thing I am: the ability to keep in touch with our children via the internet. Oldest daughter flew to Amsterdam overnight and this morning I awoke to an email message from her saying, “I’m in Amsterdam!” Yes, it’s not much, but it’s 100% better than 9 years ago when oldest son, almost 19, travelled by himself to Italy for a month. A phone call once a week was about all we could expect, since there weren’t many places for travellers to go online back then and pay phones were hard to come by, too.

Dear Rebecca,
I'm thankful for answers to prayer today.

I'm thankful that we got all the obligatory sportsmanlike compliments out of the way so that next time we can get straight down to the business of trying to destroy each other in scrabble. I owe you.

I'm thankful for the Internet as well - and facebook - that's how I keep track of my traveling boys!
