Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for.

In the midst of cooking, baking, eating, laughing with friends and family, don't forget that the reason for thanksgiving was to give thanks.

Psalm 69:29-30

"But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. "

We will be celebrating our Thanksgiving at home this year, only without my grandma. For us, having her come is the highlight of this holiday. She is too sick, too weak to travel. I am greatly disappointed but am thankful that we have the opportunity to go visit with her on Friday. No shopping for me on Black Friday- haha. I've NEVER been shopping the day after Thanksgiving.

* Yesterday, the children's choir sang songs of thankfulness, gratitude and good food. Beforehand, they passed the microphone around and said something they were thankful for. Rebecca said she's thankful for Christian friends and family. Emily said she was "thank you for" everything.
