Stephanie’s Solace

This year is the first year my family will not be getting together. My sister is headed over to her boyfriend’s parents home and my parents have decided to give to others this year with their time and service. They are going down to a local school to help serve the people who are less fortunate. I thought this was a great idea and would like to have joined them but do to my health and no immune system I decided that was probably not wise.

But even though we may not be together we have a lot to be thankful for: (not in order of importance) Family, friends, shelter, transportation, food, salvation, freedom, God’s Word, health, unconditional love, difficult circumstances that draw me closer to the Lord, security, a good heart, one functioning kidney, wise and caring doctors, “a good mind even when my body is fraying around it’s edges”, God’s creation, sunshine and rain,  I could go on forever…

May you and your family have a BLESSED AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
