Happy Thanksgiving!

Stephanie here with a note from all of us.

         I love this holiday! I’m not sure if it’s the food, the family or the fact that it heralds the beginning of a “holiday season” that I enjoy most, but this is one of my favorite holidays. What I love most is the combination of festive and somber emotions experience during the day. Gathering with family and any others invited for the day always brings plenty of conversation, fun and frivolity into our home. But invariably at some point in the day I’m encouraged, either on my own or as part of a group, to reflect on my blessings. And I am richly blessed. I have a husband who loves me and is a wonderful provider and companion. I have three grown or almost grown children who act as though they enjoy my company and conversation. I have a rich spiritual relationship with the Lord that is always growing and changing. I have many material blessings, too, but they seem pale and unimportant in comparison to the above.

         I encourage you to take a moment and list your own blessings. It is sure to make your day even more blessed.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
