Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year;
to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.

I am so thankful that you were able to get away and have special times with friends and family. And praising God for the way He orchestrated your mama's situation. He loves us deeply! And cares about every little detail.

praising Him for His presence in our lives!
ReplyDeletethankful with you for your many blessings,
thankful for your wonderful pictures which tell praise :)
as i look at the latter pictures i pretend to be in the 'roasterie' at a table nearby... i see the smiles, hear the laughter, maybe pick up a word or two of conversation... i smile in the knowing, that it is Him alone who blesses...
as i leave and glance back at you & yours, i whisper a prayer.
His continued blessings for you & yours.
