Taking Thanksgiving For Granted...

Is what I used to do. I didn't ever think about like that, of course. But I did a few days ago. It was all about the food and who was coming over and how late we were going to stay up cooking. :) This year was different for me. Not only did I get to spend it with my extended family (1st time), but it was refreshing to be in the midst of family who is truly thankful for the life Jesus Christ has given them.

I laughed until I cried which is normal, but it was different. I played with the children (which again is normal), but was different. I prayed and felt different about being thankful this year. I am glad the Lord is allowing these things to take place within my life so that I can truly savor and enjoy who I am and where I am with those around me. :)
