Thanksgiving

Hello Beloved,

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you!

As I sit here to write this I am thinking that each and everyday should be called
Thanksgiving Day. I think from now on I will write that to you. Happy Thanksgiving Day.
I like that.... This day is my favorite day because as we all gather together and sit around
a table that is filled with lots of good things to eat , we start the meal with everyone telling
us what they are thankful for... We start with the youngest and work our way up.. I love that.
I get to peek inside the heart of my loved ones at that moment. When you hear a little one say something like I am glad my daddy has a job, or maybe, I am glad I made all A's or I am
thankful for my children and the heat in our house... the list could go on and on... I am so excited
about hearing what each one is thankful for this year....
My listing this year will be like this.

I am so thankful for the mercy of God. I am thankful for my husband and my children and grand-children. I am thankful I have a church that I can go to and hear about my Savior Jesus Christ. I am thankful that I have the lovely name of Jesus applied to my life... I am thankful for
my job and the money it brings in... I am thankful for my home and the heat and ac and the clean running hot/cold water. I am thankful for Sam our dog... and I could go on and on.. but I am now thankful for all the good food we have before us and the love that went into preparing this meal.. I am so thankful that Jesus loves me...
This is what I will probably say when it is my turn for thanksgiving praise.. It is how I feel each and everyday... I am also thankful for each and everyone of you.... My heart is full of the love of Christ Jesus and I pray it grows more each day.
Well, I just hope you all have a very peaceful and restful loving day with your families...
Smile: you are so beautiful when you do and it is a free gift from God to you to share with
all you meet...
with arms tenderly wrapped about you in the love of Jesus .... your sister in Christ, vickie
