Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., and it is traditionally a day for getting together with family and eating a lot.  Perhaps watching football.  Thanksgiving has always been a big family weekend for our family.  We get together, as many of us as possible, and spend the weekend together.

This year we will be missing a bunch of people, but those who can will gather and have a traditional turkey feast and then spend two days having fun together doing various things.

I am thankful for that.  I am thankful that I have most of my family still alive, and that they all live on the west coast.  I am thankful that, by and large, we are all healthy.

And I am thankful for my Lord and Savior.  Thank you, God, for your blessings this year. I may not have been as appreciative as you would have liked me to be with the “challenges” you have given me, but I am thankful that you were always right there with me.  Thank you for saving me from my lost life.

What are you thankful for this year?
