    Hi, I’m Krista.

    Strategic communicator and storyteller.

    I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
    And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
    oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

Thanksgiving

October 11, 2010

Think back….to a place a little warmer…a little wetter….a little younger….. A place with a few more trees, bigger hills and a certain salty smell. During seasons like Thanksgiving, I can’t help but go back there. Back to my family sitting around a pingpong table or any hard surface that will seat all 25 plus of us. Turkey, wine and Wayne’s marshmellow salad. Grandpa’s prayer, “for what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly grateful.

My family is just getting into the next generation. I have 2 of 3 great grandchildren but the last time we spent Thanksgiving in BC it was just Jakob. And although it is very different than our family here in Three Hills, both are given by God’s grace and I am so thankful.
Thankful for a table big enough too keep those dear… near, thankful for turkeys to feed us, thankful for cousins for my children, cousins for me, thankful for in-laws, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandmas, papa’s, grammy’s, grandpa’s, Omi’s, Gramps’, great-grandpa’s grandmama’s grandpapa’s, and friends that join us at our table. Thankful for Ben and thankful for my two precious children.

Happy Thanksgiving.
