Thanksgiving

Although I am thankful a lot, it is this time of year I guess we really reflect on all we have been blessed with. I love Thanksgiving and spending time with my family. Although we don't have a large family or any set tradition, just getting together and eating is so great. I remember the first year David and I got married and we went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. I acted like a huge baby. I missed my mom and my aunt so much that I basically cried the entire time we were gone. Although David and his family celebrate Thanksgiving the same way I always have, there is something about being with those you love more than life itself and have loved you unconditionally your WHOLE life. Although there are so many that are not with us anymore and we miss them, I love this time of year. So here is to Thanksgiving - food and family. For us as Christians though, I think it extends so much farther. Don't we have SO much to be thankful for???
Father: Thank you for my family. The family that I love so much and has been such a constant in my life. The heritage that has been passed down and will continue to be passed down hopefully for generations to come. I thank you for the comfort of knowing I have people praying for me daily. Thank you for wonderful friends who have seen me in good and bad and love me anyway. Thank you for a precious little girl you brought into my life three years ago. I can't imagine life without her. Thank you for her personality and the way she brings smiles to people - even those that don't know her. Thank you for blessing me far more than I deserve. Amen.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
