So, my day already has been busy. I got up this morning got ready went to the store to get 1 pack of broccoli so I could make a casserole (I knew last night I should have gotten 2 but didn't), came back home and put together the casserole and left to take Ryan to Ft.Inn so he could go w/my sister to GA to see my other sister and her family. Then off to the church to pick up our turkey and then to Fingerville to pick up our ham and dressing from Scott Garland's place Big Daddy Hawg. I have to say it is worth the trip his dressing and ham is the BEST... All the while as I was gone my hubby was here making mac and cheese in the crock pot and mash potatoes. Oh yeah and I made my first banana pudding last night.. As soon all is done we are going to Eric's mom to have lunch and then Susan and I will plan out our Friday shopping.. Also, Eric and I have have always gone to K-Mart on Thanksgiving day so we are doing that later today on our way to get Ryan in Ft.Inn.. Once the day is all over with Susan and the kids are coming to spend the night so Eric and the boys can watch all the little ones (while they sleep) and we are headed to the Prime Outlets in Gaffney for our shopping to begin.. So, as I get a chance all day I will be taking short little naps so I will be wide awake all night and in the morning.. If you know me you know that I am truly excited about all of this.. I do love thanksgiving, some have football and other things I enjoy spending time w/ the family, eating and SHOPPING!!!
So, I want to wish all of you a wonderful, happy and bless Thanksgiving. In this past year God has given me so much to be thankful for or should I say open my eyes up...Here is an email that a co-worker sent to me yesterday and it is a great reminder of what we should be thankful for...
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings each morning, thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you Lord, that I can see. There are many who are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off the effort of rising, thank you, Lord that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when keys are lost, bagel is burned, and tempers are short, thank you, Lord for my family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord for the food we have. There’re many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Lord, for the gift of Life.
Even though we gets so caught up that we do not take the time to capture the moments, for all of the blessing that you have given us through out the year.
Lord, we asking that you give us a peace of mind this day, so that we can be thankful for your “Harvest Season”.
May you wake up everyday and realize all that we have to be thankful for...
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
