Every other year, our family gathers for several days to celebrate Christmas at Thanksgiving (the next year at Christmas). We have 39 - soon to be 40 in our growing family. All but dear Hannah who is in South Asia were present on Thanksgiving Day...Brunch at 11:00 after Wes, Jr. and grand daughter, Morgan ran the 1/2 marathon.
After the meal, all 38 gathered in the Dining Room. During the next two hours plus, we had a praise/prayer glorious time! Everyone spoke including the youngest grandchild, just turned 8, up to the eldest, PawPaw. They shared about 2010 and concerns and prayer requests for this next year. Who could possibly ask for anything more?! Not me, praise You, Father, Who made it all possible!
BERNADINE AND WES CANTRELL This blog is to introduce ourselves to old and new friends... acquaintances... and people interested in knowing about our books and speaking engagement scheduling. Check out our website: http://www.wesandbernadinecantrell.com
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
WES completed a specialty class on Sunday mornings at our church, FBCW...ten sessions. This is a great study based on his book, "From the Shop Floor to the Top Floor" and he would be delighted to arrange to do the same with any group in the Metro Atlanta area.
MEN'S CONFERENCE, FBCW
Wes will be teaching a breakout session at the Men's Conference at First Baptist Church, Woodstock for the fourth year! Wonderful conference that Pastor Johnny Hunt has done for many years. It is a blessing to be a part of this important happening. (12,000 men or so for the two weekends)
RUSSIAN LADIES' CONFERENCE
January plans include a conference for Russian ladies here in the Atlanta area - several churches invited. I will be sharing (with a translator, of course!) "What About Me?" and "Man Looks on the Outward".
Plans are being made for me to teach a Ladies' Conference in the Ukraine, November 11th and 12th, 2011. For me, this is exciting and unbelievable that the Lord is opening that door. The book, Her Husband... , has been so readily received and taken to heart by many Russian ladies. I cannot but stand in awe at the work of the precious Holy Spirit.

EASTSIDE Baptist Ladies' Retreat
March will bring a wonderful time with ladies on retreat to Chattanooga. Something that I am really looking forward to teaching! Will enter the theme the Eastside ladies adopt soon.
Keepers at Home FBA
It was such a joy to speak to the "keepers" again last week. Having finished the editing of the book Bending the Twig, it was fresh in my mind and certainly in my enthusiasm to share with mothers how the Lord would have us to raise up our children! I am truly a blessed woman as I am given such opportunity!
I am so pleased that FBA is inviting me for a continuing guest speaker time about once a quarter. Precious Lord, use me!

EXCEL "Swan Song"
You experience grief at the end of a "season of life". After sixteen years of being blessed by touching the lives of young women and their families from all over the USA and other countries, I say goodbye to a remarkable season - E.X.C.E.L. We had a wonderful week in October...teaching the subjects I enjoy so much to a great group of ladies. It was a sad reality when Mr. Bell read the notation on the plaque they gave me. The curtain has fallen. And I have many cherished memories!
