Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is the BIG day of "Thanks" so Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Jena's folks are in town and Justin arrived safely home from college last Friday. I know it sounds cliche' to "give thanks" so maybe a more appropriate response is to focus on all the good things God has done in our lives as opposed to the list of complaints we usually carry around. It doesn't take much effort to find the things awry in our life but it is much healthier for the soul to reflect on the blessings. Today I am thankful and as Scripture says, "do not about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."

November, especially Thanksgiving, is always a busy time in our family. Corey celebrated his 14th birthday earlier this month, Kaiden will turn 5 on Sunday and Jena and I celebrate 8 years of marriage on Monday. Note to self: "if you need something to be thankful for, read the previous sentence."
