I am SO thankful!!!




How VERY thankful I am this year!!! We started off the Thanksgiving holiday with a wonderful service at church on Wednesday night. Our church family gathered together for a dinner of soup and sandwiches, and then we had our worship service. David and our Kinetic band did the music for this, and it was powerful! The Life Center was packed and you could just feel the presence of the Lord there! It was a great kickoff to the holiday.
After running 4 miles Thanksgiving morning (Kelli & Kristen had a 4 mile race in Florida that morning, so it was ALMOST like we were all together), Mom arrived that morning just in time for breakfast!! We had a great day together cooking and just being together. Our meal was fabulous, but the fellowship was even sweeter. How very thankful I am for my precious family this year.
Oh, and it was kind of funny. Josiah was born on Thanksgiving day 5 years ago, but this Thanksgiving fell on Nov. 22 (which was my original due date for him). Glad not to be in labor this Thanksgiving!
