THANKSgiving

This time of year brings a different warmth to my heart.  Sometimes when life gets busy, we forget to stop and be THANKful for what we have.  Life may not be beautiful, but the memories made along the way are what our hearts cherish.  This month I have focused on giving thanks daily for even the small things like warm coffee, comfy socks, and a bed to sleep in.  We forget that sometimes our "little things" can be the "big things" for others.  I also focused on praying more for those around me. The mail lady, the man in the car next to me, and even the lady in the grocery store who looks like she has had a bad day.  Just giving thanks for what we do have helps change our perspective on everything.  This is a perfect time of year to give thanks.  To celebrate the day, we went to lunch at Gamee and Grampee's with the family.  We enjoyed lunch with Christopher/Heather and the cousins, played hard outside, and even watched Andrew learn to ride his bike!  Dinner was the traditional yummy meal of turkey and fixings followed by a family game of Pictionary.  We all enjoyed relaxing and enjoying our time without plans or the hustle of the season.  We are so truly blessed as a family in more ways than we can count.  My prayer is that we are all able to see our blessings as we head into the Christmas season.
