Thankful

Thanksgiving: a time to be with friends and family, when we share all that we are thankful for, stuff our faces with turkey dinner and pumpkin dessert, play games, and start off the Christmas season.

This year was my first year away from my friends and family who I have spent Thanksgiving with my whole life. I was blessed with the chance to go to a to friends family Thanksgiving. The day was filled with laughter, and pure joy. I spent my time playing games like Identity Crisis, Monopoly and Golf, watching some Curious George with the little ones, Eating a wonderful feast put on by such a wonderful family, along with a stroll around the block to help out bellies settle.

Oh the joys of being around a family with little ones running around and just loving on them. It makes me miss home and all the families I will be visiting upon my return. It reminds me of how Thankful I am to have so many families in my church that I am connected to and able to just visit whenever my little heart needs love of children.

I was reminded of all the things I am Thankful for and how often I forget that I need to Thank God for them. I take it all for granted and God is the one who deserves all the Thanks for my family and friends back home, my health, the time I am having a Ecola, my home church, the family I am making here, my job, His creation that is all around from the ocean to the mountains and everything in between and beyond. Thank You so much for my life Lord, you have truly blessed me and I take it all for granted. You are an amazing Father and love me for who I am, You are creating me to be the Godly Woman you have planned for me to be.

Just a few Pictures of the things I am Thankful for...
