Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day that is supposed to remind us to be thankful for all of our many blessings. However, we should be thankful everyday. Sometimes I think that we all get a little to busy and forget and especially today, Thanksgiving Day, we should take time to reflect over the past year and look at all we have been given by God.

1. So today, as I travel between two hospitals (to be with my Mom and then my cousin) I am thankful for my car (new company car) and that gas has gone down in price.

2. I am thankful for my new grandaughter Autumn (even though she lives 1000 miles away from me)

3. I am thankful for my sister Janet for all she does and our close relationship.

4. I am thankful for my husband, who has kept the house clean and clothes washed this week while I was so busy with Mom and Karen.

5. I am thankful for my church who has lifted me up in prayer during this hard time and for my Pastor who made a special effort to bring comfort to my cousin during this difficult time.

6. I am thankful for my friends and family.

7. Most of all I am thankful for the Grace of God that he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and shed his blood for my sins so that can know a peace beyond all understanding during difficult times and know that one day I will see him face to face.
