More Than A Long Weekend

Thankful Wreath

The "official" start of the Holiday season.

Some approach this season with so much excitement they can hardly stand it.... they probably already have their Christmas decorates out and hung up.  I have a number of friends in this category. Y'all know who you are.










For others (read"Charlotte") this season will be fun, filled with special occasions and yummy food, but tinged with some sadness.


Me, Dad, B-I-L & Baby Sis





*My mom passed very suddenly three years ago the day after Thanksgiving.

*This year marks the first Holiday Season without my quilting Auntie....
my mom's only sibling.

*The last two years have ushered in some big changes in my own life....
some good .... some not so much.

While I could sit home and cry in my beer (which, truth be told, I'm inclined to do)
I will reflect on all the things I have to be Thankful for:





*My health
*I am well provided for
*My family (son, daughter, D-I-L, g-sons, new baby g-daughter (still in the oven))
*My dad's continued good health (and my baby sister who watches after him)
*My many friends...especially quilting friends

And most of all, I am Thankful for a God who reached down and pulled me out of the pit and by His grace set my feet on
higher ground.  What is the Gospel...Click Here 

I am truly Grateful, Thankful and Blessed.   May you be, also.
Wishing you a joyful Thanksgiving.
