I'm Thankful for
Thanksgiving!
Words cannot describe the blessing this Thanksgiving was for me…..so I think I'll just let the lens of my camera tell the story of my Thanksgiving….
FROM waking up to a most magnificent Thanksgiving sunrise on a cold, foggy lake…..
TO a Thanksgiving meal prepared mostly by men and a hodgepodge of orphan Thanksgivingers bringing their favorite scripture to the table with them……
TO a Thanksgiving birthday celebration…..
TO a Wii Bowling competition to work off the turkey and pumpkin pie in our bellies……
TO a morning of meeting new tiny friends ….
hugging old friends…..
and making new grown-up friends…...
TO singing "What Does The Fox Say" in the middle of a country road at the top of our lungs with my girlfriend…..
TO witnessing the last of Fall's final color…...
TO "faux" ice skating on OIL in downtown Mt. Vernon with my crazy niece and girlfriends…..
TO celebrating my 106 year old friends' Birthday as she moves into #107 with her family that are an extension of my own family…..
TO closing out a Thanksgiving weekend with a Liz-prepared grilled cheese sandwich and soup Thanksgiving meal with the family (thanks Matt, for having my back!)…...
And thank YOU for letting me share a titch of the blessings in my life. God has been so incredibly good to me…..and has graced my life with you…..my Murphy's Mom Blog friends who so faithfully read my words, view my pictures and allow me the freedom to express myself so openly and honestly. Thank you for letting me vent, whine, cry and occasionally exaggerate to you……and you never complain…
Well…..hardly ever.

is not happiness that makes us
grateful, but the gratefulness that
makes us happy."

Blessings Liz, "God is good". Thank you for sharing with me, I meant to tell you I really enjoyed the picture of you and Chuck on the deck or dock looking out over the lake. That was super. Tell him we missed him last Sunday, hope he wasn't sick. Thanks again I really appreciate it, glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hope to see you tomorrow!
Love Ya!

Hi Liz,......and yes, "Thanksgiving" is the time to be with family, and to be thankful for the bountiful blessings from the Lord. I can say without a shadow of a doubt "He" is the reason for living, with Him I am nothing, without Him I am even less. May the name of the Lord be praise!!
