Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thanksgiving day to you, friends! I pray that your day was filled with family and/or friends, delicious food, laughter, fun, and memories to savor for a lifetime. I was dreading this day so much, but it surprised me and I wasn't sad at all. I cried once, when Noah mentioned something about the fact that Dad's red truck is in our garage, and all of a sudden, the tears started. But that was the only time, and it was only over my Dad. I will take that, because I  thought I'd be a lot sadder about the other aspect of my life. Bonus! 

Because it's Thanksgiving day, you know I had to write a thankful post, late as it may be. Here's what I was thankful for this week that I listed in my journal:

• the privilege of prayer
• being surrounded by my family
• new traditions!
• being comfortable around people
• my work family and the most fun day at work the day before Thanksgiving
• my sons and the gift of togetherness
• being able to finally finish a book I loved
• movies galore
• the people I'm honored to call friends and the ones who check in on me all the time
• the prayers of the saints
• you!

Thank you for showing up here day after day to comment, love on, pray for, and encourage me. I don't know what the last five months in my life would have looked like if not for this wonderful and caring little community we've built here. I am so grateful for the fact that you show up here everyday and faithfully read what I write. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart friends. I pray your day was wonderful and filled with people that you love. I know mine was. 

May the Lord Himself bless and keep you, make His face shine upon you, and hold you close. Love to all. Happy Thanksgiving!
