this is our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada ... i just got back from my aunt's place where she had a terrific spread laid out for us to enjoy ... mmmmmm ... i love her cooking ... she is almost 80 and spry as can be ... she can literally run circles around me ... she IS a gem ... and definitely one of my blessings to thank God for ... i took my appetite along and thoroughly enjoyed the food and family gathering!
leo stayed at home ... going to these family doohs is tough on folks with disabilities ... there are no comfortable spots when your body is in pain ... he could lie down of course, but as he always says "why go visit somewhere to just lie in a bedroom?" ... good point ... so he watched sports in the comfort of his own recliner ... he always seems content to be left behind ... yet i feel a touch of guilt when i fly off to do my visiting ... a little tug of war in my heart ...
"in everything give thanks" ... that is what the Word says ... so that is what i will do ... i'll give thanks for the good things i love ... and thanks for the knowledge that i don't have to walk through any of the difficult times alone ...
counting blessings is a wonderful way to never take a moment for granted ...
