A Few More Thoughts of Thanks

     I hope all of you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration, and that there are plenty of leftovers to keep you from having to do any serious cooking for a few days.  That, after all, is one of the greatest joys of Thanksgiving!  
     We had a wonderful time with family, and the grand kids always give us reasons to laugh.  There were also many messages of thanks from friends and family via Facebook, e-mail, personal visits and phone.  In short, we had a very special day.  A day blessed by those we love!  Most especially, it was a day to thank God for all His gifts.  May we never forget where our bounty and blessings come from!  One friend posted this on her Facebook, and I want to second her thought. 


     As we leave this Thanksgiving behind, looking forward to next year's opportunity to again give thanks with family and friends, I hope we will carry its spirit into everything we do, noticing each gift that comes, expressing heartfelt gratitude, and recognizing how very blessed we are every day of the year!
