So it seems the Holidays are knocking at the door. And where I used to be giddy with excitement about the family time and laughs and jokes and stories as we gather around the table. I now find my self dreading it all. It's called Thanksgiving for a reason, it should be a time where we are thankful for all God has given us, all that we have managed to trudge thru. Trust me, it has been an interesting couple of years, especially for my side of the family. And even though it would be easier to have a bad attitude and just be plain ugly to everyone, I am going to encourage everyone, including myself to go above and beyond what is asked of me. I might have to fake it at first, but maybe everyone else will follow my lead and we can make the best of it.
If you follow me on FB, you will see many people doing the couple of weeks, of "I am thankful for.." It has been sweet so far, but I encourage everyone to do it. Lord knows this week has been very emotional for me. And it has been a rude awakening, and we cannot take anything for granted. From our spouses, children, parents, siblings and those friends who are all so faithful. So take this time, and let those people know just how thankful you are to have them in your life. Don't let this Thanksgiving holiday just be about the turkey, dressing and delicious desserts. Take the time to spread your joy and love..
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
