This is my time of year! The time I anticipate through the whole calendar! I'm so excited for Thanksgiving this year! Especially looking forward to a big pile of mash potatoes & gravy...who's with me?
This time of year, I think about the many blessings I have received in my life, and enjoy spending the next few weeks enjoying every moment of those blessings. You see, to me, the ultimate gift is family. A safety net of love designed to be there trough thick and thin. Only the creative genius of our Lord could have devised such a perfect entity as that of "family."
It's saddened me to see that, especially among my own generation, the value of a family has been diminished and even thought unnecessary.
I've been blessed with a large family. I have four siblings, which means that when the holidays roll around we have a house full of lovely little ones. It's certainly a noisy event too!
God was gracious to give me my extended family, but I feel even more blessed that He, in His wisdom, allowed me to meet my husband. I could truly never love another human being with the powerful love I feel for him! And, as an added bonus, God gifted us with two beautiful, fun, little girls. Everyday is Thanksgiving when I remember the amazing honor He bestowed on me by allowing me to raise and educate these two gifts!
However, I think it important for us to remember this time of year, that even if we're not blessed with early possessions or even a lovely family, we have more than enough to sing God's praise, if we have the Lord!
Now, that, is truly something for which we can be grateful!
