Greetings bloggers and visitors its been a while since I made a blog entry. Fall is here, Thanksgiving is a week away and I am looking forward to the 2018 holidays. My halls are decked and I have some Thanksgiving goodies in the freezer. I tell you I am thankful for today, my family, a roof over my head, food on my table and for my health and strength. God is good. He is keeping me, I had another birthday two months ago and I am just enjoying life and taking each day as it comes being grateful for what is and what is not.
Those who know me know I love to decorate and I love the holidays, so the two go hand in hand with me. I am grateful for God's love and the love of my family and friends. As I wind down this evening after dinner I am enjoying the glow throughout my home from all the lights and candles. My tv has been steadfast on the Hallmark Channel whose countdown to Christmas began October 26th. Each day I wake up to the movies and go to sleep to the movies. I look forward to them every year. It is a distraction from all the turmoil in the world. Its sad that the love and compassion that most of these movies are filled with cant been seen and heard of more in present day society. If we could only have peace on earth and peace within our homes. I try to let it be just that in my home. Life is too short for drama and discord. Peace and Love is what I pray the Lord keeps in my home.
As the holidays get closer and closer I pray for traveling mercies for you all and joy and happiness within the walls of your home and everywhere you venture this holiday season. Pray everyday and cover yourself and your family and treasure each moment you get to spend together. This year will be the 5th Thanksgiving without my Dad and the 6th Christmas. I miss him daily but the memories that I have of him and the time he was with our family keeps me going. I carry him with me. I do and experience life for the both of us after all he is a part of me.
Thank you for all who continue to stop by and view my blog. I appreciate you and I hope that when you leave you will leave with a little added joy in your heart and encouragement to take with you.
Blessings to you and your family,
Country Living Grandma
