In this season of Thanksgiving, I received something new to be thankful for.  Just about a week ago, I met, for the first time, 3 brothers of mine:  Thomas, Bernard and Alfayo. They were here with my sister Mauryn for brief visit from Kenya.  While none of them are kin to me by birth, we are kin by the blood of Jesus.  And upon meeting them, there was an instant connection that brings me to tears of joy.
