As we rapidly approach this Thanksgiving Day, I am trying not to get caught up in the busyness that this season brings. I remember hearing that when the Pilgrims arrived to America, they had 5 kernels of corn rationed to them for the day! That was their first Thanksgiving. But they gave thanks to God for providing to them.
I give thanks to God for Mike. We went to the Weekend to Remember 2 weekends ago through Family Life at La Cantera. It was amazing! We learned so much-Mike is my gift from God and I love the gift and the gift Giver. My spouse is not my enemy. Oneness like God intended. We renewed our vows at the end of the conference and even got a certificate. It was definitely a "weekend to remember."
The girls got the privilege of staying with their Aunt Cindy. They had a blast and came home with lots of stuff. They went to Build-a-Bear and came home with "Goldie" the penguin for Katie, and "Rabbit" the rabbit for Lisa. We have been fortunate on stuffed animal names-pretty much we state the obvious: "Puppy dog", "Dolphin", "Kitty","Snakey" "Tiger". Lisa has a red beta named "Blaze". Surprisingly, he has been alive for a long time. Katie had a beta named "Smokey". Now a beta who is gray when you buy him (thank you Aunt Cindy), probably does not have a long life expectancy. "Smokey" died and is buried in the back yard. Mike gave a great eulogy. The cats watched from across the yard, licking their chops.
Today is half a day of school. We are getting Grandmother for a couple of days. It will be nice to stay at home and focus on my family this weekend.
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15
