A Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I am overwhelmed as I begin to count my blessings. Wow. I have to much to be thankful for.
Right now, this minute, as I sit here in my nice, cozy house, sitting in this nice chair, absolutely stuffed to the rim with delicious food, I listen to the sounds ~ songs, laughing, joking, chatting ~ going on in the other rooms. Made by a wonderful family...the best people I know. :) These are happy sounds, and I love being here with these people.
Today I spent the day at my grandparents house, celebrating this day with all my cousins (chuzzies), aunts, uncles, and grandparents. On this beautiful farm that we call home.
So many other blessings tonight in my life, and the biggest and most wonderful of all, I have a personal-relationship with a Savior who loves me and holds my life in His precious hands.

------------------------------------------------------

This Thanksgiving, as we count our unnumbered blessings, let us remember those who do not have as much. Join me in prayer today for those suffering from the severe famine in the horn of Africa. (click for information on how to help NOW.) For those suffering from diseases, those in the army, without a home, without food and water. Our God is mighty to save. Our God is mighty to heal.

Wow, that's awesome! We do that too-- it's a neat way to really celebrate God's love at Christmas. Thanks for telling me. :) You'll really bless people with that gift.
