HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Brian and Sarah came over today to share a Thanksgiving meal with us today since I will be working on Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.  Not only did they come for some family time, but they brought all the food!! :)  I felt so special, and I enjoyed seeing them and talking with them.  They even cleaned the kitchen when they were done!! :) 
I always enjoy watching the younger kids interact with Brian.  He has taught them to "beat him up" as a work-out for the academy, and they still do it whenever they see him.  One of these days, he might have to tell them to stop....but for now, he is hard as a rock and enjoys to bring this out of them! :)

 

Thank you, Brian and Sarah for a special day!
I thank God for you both and all my children!!  You are a blessing to me!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!

Can we think about the meaning of Thanksgiving and stop worrying about Christmas shopping just for a little while?????



Where have we, as a people, gone?  We forget that God is providing for us!  God has given me so much!  I want to thank Him for everything that He is for me and has done for me. 

I wonder what the pilgrims would say if they could see the way we "celebrate" Thanksgiving today!
Do you think that they would be worrying about who is going to win the football game?  How about worrying about getting up early (and in this case year 2011, getting out as soon as we swallow our last bite of food!) and buying those great deals?

Maybe we as Americans need to think hard and go back in time to when the pilgrims came to America.  They were not materialistic at all and they had very little, in our minds, yet they thanked God!

I know that there are a few people still out there who really are thankful for the blessings that God has given them, but our society is so far from this concept!!

Stop for a little time and just really think about all that we have!! 

And then......

Thank God for everything!! 




He is so good to us!!!
