Giving Thanks

 

With the cloudy day and the leaves turning swiftly it certainly is a time to be thankful.  I have so many blessings to be thankful for, family, friends and a home with hundreds of things to be thankful for within those three.


We always have our thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday so that we can enjoy our turkey sandwiches on Monday.  Both lunch and supper are turkey sandwiches today with relaxing and movies as well.  

I am so very grateful my sister and her family are all safe after the two hurricanes that hit them.  The first one their home made it through with very minimum of damage but the second hit them straight on and this time there was damage. 


The outside took a lot of damage but the worst of it was their main livingroom which the storm took out a window and did a lot inside. 


I was so sad to see the mess the storm left but so very happy they had done the sensible thing and that was to leave when told to.  My sister and BIL have always been smart and never just rode out things like a hurricane hitting their house.  Things can always be fixed but lives cannot when they are taken.  


And they have started the clean-up and repairs.  I know my sister and I will not be able to sit with our teas and video chat for awhile but I am good with that knowing they are all okay.  

So, I have a great deal to be thankful for and all of it by God's grace and blessings.  God is always good.  


And Happy Thanksgiving to All!

  2. No photos post in comments, obviously, but so glad your family members are safe down there in Hurricane country. So are my cousins and friends down there. Remember Slenderella from Spark? The gal I went down to run the St. Petersburg women's marathon with in 2012? Heard from her, too. People have made it... my family members now have power back and are addressing the cleanup.

    That gives us much to be thankful for, this Holiday!
