Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving Everyone!

Sorry, we're a day behind but hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!!

You are probably wondering what The Potters are up to this Thanksgiving? Well, believe it or not, we are actually going to celebrate Thanksgiving, American style, in Scotland! :-) One of our church friends (she is Scottish but have lived in America for 7 years & her husband is American) the Bakers, just moved back from America and have decided to open up their home for this fine celebration. But, since it's not a national holiday here, we are having our celebration tonight (Friday) as opposed to yesterday, because we don't have Friday off. The Bakers will be providing the bird and all the necessary fixins' and everyone will bring something. I have volunteered a green salad. There will be about 12 of us!

On another note, I have an interview today at 4p.m. (11a.m. EST) with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Your prayers are much appreciated if you get this message in time. This is for a "permanent" Manager position. I am very excited about this interview (as oppose to nervous). I am not really sure why but perhaps it's a sign of hope (to get out of my current temp job)? It's almost like the same kind of hope we have for heaven....hhmmm....just simple pure joy. :-)

I have also recently gone through an "emotional overhaul"...I guess you can call it that. Too many changes at one time in our lives has thrown me for a loop the last month or so! After much prayer and reflection for both of us, I think we are going to be alright. I feel lighter and burden- free.... "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29. So for that, I am grateful to our Heavenly Father this Thanksgiving who is always faithful.
