As I sit here still emotionally glowing in the aftermath of Thanksgiving this Sunday I am filled with joy, gratitude and Thanksgiving leftovers. I was so happy that all my children, my grandson, my mom and those who love me were in attendance. Everybody seemed so content and happy among all the holiday decorations, fine food and each other. My mom was even taking pictures. Words cant express the Joy I feel. Life is going on and God is truly blessing me. I am just so so so grateful to God our Father for all that I have and all that he is allowing me to be a part of. We all will have ups and downs in life but we have to get over the hump and continue on and not let unfortunate circumstances weigh us down or keep us from continuing to experience the joys in life. I have always loved the holidays. I enjoy all the Christmas movies and cartoons. I love decorating, early mind you, and enjoying the glow and animation within my home from sun up to sun down. I never get tired of it. It's the most wonderful time of the year. I am so looking forward to going with my Son this week to pick out our live Christmas tree. This will be our second year going together in keeping with the tradition of my late father and I going to get the Christmas tree for the home in which I grew up in. That was a special time for me and I thank God for the memories of us searching for one together. There have been many days when I wondered how a way would be made to do many things and God made the way, I stand in awe and amazement of all he does not that he couldn't do it but because he did it and for me. Who am I that he would have to do anything for me, no one but he does it because he loves me. If only we finite beings could learn to love one another as God loves us. Yes, we love but we will never be able to love like the Almighty loves so take nothing for granted and be grateful for everything. Don't let the last Thursday of the month of November be the only day of Thanksgiving because everyday is a day of Thanksgiving and should be referenced as just that. I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday weekend because I know Thursday didn't just end the celebrations around the world. In most homes today is the closure of it all for Thanksgiving 2018 and many will be headed back home to get themselves ready for a new work week tomorrow, Monday the 26th of November. It's almost incomprehensible when you think about Christmas day being one month away from today but believe it and have a Merry rest of your holiday season and God Bless you and your family.
