Feeling Thankful

Today like most days I am thankful that God has allowed me to open my eyes to this crazy world. While each day brings new challenges, it is so important that we don’t contribute to or fall prey to the negativity of our surroundings. We still live in a beautiful world.

Today and every day I am so thankful that I have a warm and loving relationship with my heavenly Father who sustains me through all things.

I am thankful for a loving husband. We all know how husbands are. He’s hardly perfect but he has walked this journey with me for the last 38 years. So far I haven’t killed him yet!

I am equally thankful for my two sisters who have always been there for me even on some very tough days. The rest of my family may be small but they are all loved.

I am thankful for my newfound friend and fellow artist, Maner Noble who has opened up a whole new world and opportunity to me. Her passion for art is only matched by her passion for life.

Today I am not feasting but will be doing other things to stay busy. If you are traveling today please be safe. As you sit down at the table today put Christ first. Allow Him to sit at the head of your table and your lives.

Lastly the feeling of love you get today needs to be shared every day. We ARE our brother’s keeper and the world definitely needs more love.

Have an awesome holiday!

Thanksgiving Memories

While my family is small now there are lots of fond memories of past celebrations. There was never any football or any such sport stuff in our family. Our family concentrated on just being together and valuing that time.

When I was young, my family was so important. There were no computers, cell phones, drones, or other distractions. The Macy parade was my favorite activity. The oversized balloons were always a fascination. While us kids were sprawled out on the floor watching the parade, the adults were engaged in conversation that included a lot of laughter.

The food, of course, was worthy of five stars, and most of us ate way too much. We packed in a lot of love on days like these.

It’s days like this that you can’t duplicate, so you take in as much as you can. While a lot of family members have passed on, they certainly have not been forgotten because they have already left their footprints on this world and in our hearts.

Today, remember is not about politics, foreign policies, or other hot news topics. Today is about being thankful for life, and it’s many blessings.

Have a safe, healthy, happy Thanksgiving.

What I am thankful for:

     A loving God that has been so good to me.

     A wonderful family that has always supported me and valued me.

     Pretty good health that allows me to continue to live my way.

     The good sense to live a financially secure life to the best of my ability.

Take a moment to be grateful. It could be a real eye opener for some.

Have a blessed day!
