I know you've heard me say it before but I LOOOVE Thanksgiving! In the weeks and months leading up to Thanksgiving this year I've had my eyes opened to so many truths about the world we live in and just how extremely fortunate we are as this tiny little percentage of the world's population that enjoy such lavish freedoms and luxuries, such comfort, health, opportunity, freedom, and abundance. My heart aches for the extremity of it all and how we are so undeservingly blessed with so much. I am brought to my knees in thankful prayer. I hope that we will live knowing that none of it belongs to us! It's not ours to begin with and it could be gone in a blink. All that we have and all that we treasure is a gift from God.....a gift that requires our good stewardship and I pray that we will truly be good stewards willing to share and give with love in the way we live and act and use our gifts for God's glory.
I love you and I'm so eternally thankful for you ....my friends, my family!
It was a gorgeous Thanksgiving Day, beautiful weather, soooo much delicious food (not just one, but two turkeys and a ham!....let me just say there was so much food it was a good thing our family thought to bring their own tupperware from home to take left-overs, ha ha ha!!), football, fun fellowship with family and dear friends, texts with loved ones near and far, lots of hugs and laughter and my first experience with Skyping! (p.s. it was so cool....and yes, I realize I'm a technological dork for letting you know it was my first time on Skype, lol)
We even set up the garage with extra seating, all the desserts, games, our fun turquoise couch and a big screen projecction movie. We decided to leave it set up that way for a little while after Thanksgiving because the kids enjoyed it so much.
Here is a re-cap in photos:
Those of you who weren't here with us in person were certainly here in our hearts and we love you so much! Hope your Thanksgiving was truly wonderful!
