THANKFUL IN ALL THINGS.

   So many memories as a child, and young adult of Thanksgiving.  The cold, football watched and played, hot dinner rolls, deviled eggs, turkey and ham!

The world stopped as we entered a world of family unity and love.  Most of the adults from the living room of the past are gone. 

 

The condensation on the windows, laughter and holiday television specials are all part of the imagery of those early Thanksgivings. I suppose it was special in those days because we were actually thankful for what we possessed or what didn't happen to us.Thanksgiving was a statement for family, country, love and gratitude to God.

My Uncle would pray and tell God how thankful we were for one another and all of His blessings.  A huge feast was eaten, complete with cookies, fudge and pies that all had brought. 

 I pray, as everyone attempts to shock and rewrite history, accompanied with an attitude of entitlement, Thanksgiving day doesn't get diluted.  Black Friday and Halloween having risen to the forefront is a statement as well.   

Happy Thanksgiving!  I am thankful for family memories throughout the years.  I thank God for His presence, power and provision in our family this year. May they come over the hills and through the woods to grandmothers house because grandfather loves to see her face light up!

  Be Thankful and share, help others to have a good day.
