So many reasons
Thanksgiving came and went all too quickly this year, but what a blessing it was to gather with those dear to our hearts. Indeed the Lord has surrounded us with amazing family and friends who love Him and us and it's just the best part of this holiday. Followed closely by a perfectly crafted bite of turkey, potatoes, dressing, and gravy all in one. It never disappoints, y'all.
First up, lunch with Giga, Poppop, and Nene. Poor Brandon wasn't feeling well and missed out. But we had a fabulous meal, topped off by our somewhat lost tradition of a nice, slow neighborhood walk that made us not feel quite so bad about those pumpkin squares we all devoured for dessert. Of course we came back from our walk to this.
Words cannot express how thankful I am for this family and the Lord's hand in where we are.
On Thanksgiving day, we gathered at Nana and Granddad's for yet another feast, the boys flabbergasted that we would choose to have a meal smack in the middle of the afternoon. But it was delicious, and so precious to go around the table and each offer thanks to God for His goodness to us. Bellies full, we headed out back for target practice in the chilly sunset air.
And then came the tree, tall and elegant. How grateful I am that this family has made me one of their own.
Friendsgiving rounded out the festivities, where together with our community bunch we ate and sang and told stories and laughed and commiserated and hugged and loved and trash-talked our way through several rounds of Uno. I have always wanted to be part of a group like this, to be real with and share life with, and here they are.
My heart is full. And ready to keep right on celebrating, for we have oh so many reasons for the joy that surrounds us.
