Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.I Thessalonians 5:16-18
I am thankful for…
-Jesus. For Him loving me, dying for me, saving me, being with me every day. For the access He gives me to God the Father and the Holy Spirit. For every blessing He has given me, even when I deserve none of them. For grace, love, forgiveness, patience, and grace (yes, again).
-Luke-that he IS, that he is who he is, that he is my husband, that he is here this year to help me eat all this food.
-our kids, that God chose ME to be their mother, that they are healthy, and that they are good kids (usually).
-for family back home that loves me and misses me and wishes we were there with them today.
-our home and all the material things we have from a fancy mattress to running water and electricity.
-for more than enough food to eat every single day.
-for turkey and ham and “Colleen’s mashed potatoes” and corn casserole and homemade rolls and dressing and homemade cranberry sauce and pumpkin cake and pecan pies.
-for my comfy chair and ottoman and my laptop and the internet!
I could list things all day long because I feel more blessed than anyone I know but I will stop now. I hope you feel blessed too! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1

Yes, it's great that L is home this time, sure he is glad also!
Just think Stef...if you lived back in the "Little house on the prairie days" you would be thankful for a piece of paper and a feather pen instead of the computer and internet! and you'd be thankful to have a telegram service instead of a cell phone. Ha, just a thought. We've come a long way!
