Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
to our family and friends
near and far, old and new
close and estranged
You are loved!

I hope you all have a wonderful day reflecting on 
and giving thanks for God's goodness!

Our family is having a different type of Thanksgiving this year.
It will also be one with a "first" for us.

However, we will be together, and that is enough for all of us!

Something different for our Thanksgiving this year is that I decorated our home for Christmas early. Everything except the Christmas tree is done. We will put the ornaments on as a family Thanksgiving Day evening as we always have.

Over and over I marvel at the blessings of my life: 
Each year has grown better than the last. 
Lawrence Welk

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, 
turn routine jobs into joy, 
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. 
William Arthur Ward

It is always possible to be thankful for what is given 
rather than resentful over what is withheld. 
One attitude or the other becomes a way of life.
Elisabeth Elliot
