Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving.  I enjoy this time getting together with family.  I hate that we don't try more than one or two times a year to all get together, but I know it is hard with everyone in different cities and states.

We went to my Uncle and Aunt's house for Thanksgiving lunch.  My two cousins have two boys each.  It was so much fun to see all the boys playing, riding go carts, climbing, hammering, etc.  For Thanksgiving supper, we went to Kevin's family.  Bennett was the center of attention.

We really have so much to be thankful that it is sad how sometimes ungrateful and envious we are at times.  God has provided Kevin and I with great jobs that allow us to not only take care of our family, but support our church and help others.  He has blessed us with a wonderful son that I am thankful everyday for.  Bennett brings so much laughter, joy, and excitement to our family.  We are blessed to soon be welcoming our daughter that we have prayed for many years. 

I encourage everyone that when times are bad and finances are draining, to remember that nothing is ours.  Everything we have belongs to God.  We are only his stewards.  Although you many not have the newest or nicest house or car, you still have shelter, food, etc.  We really have it so good comparatively, yet we are always wanting more.  Find contentment in yourself and provide the gifts that are unmeasurable - quite time with family, writing a note, going for a walk, etc.
