Thanksgiving 2004

Each year we invite others to enjoy our Thanksgiving Dinner with us, folks that may not have any family around or may be displaced for some reason. Yet this year, our invitees were unexpectedly called away to a funeral. I was frantically trying to find someone who had nowhere to go so that we could still enjoy our meal by reaching out. Okay, so I didn't go so far as all the highways and byways. And providentially my husband asked a young couple who have now responded yes. So we will have two young couples, one with two small children, to enjoy our feast. For that, I am so thankful!
Our feast will be enjoyed around our brand new table that friends in California made for us. God is so good...providing for all our needs. For that, I am thankful!
Our table will be spread with an abundance of delicious food that my daughters and I have prepared. For that, I am thankful!
Our oldest son and his young bride live far away. They have been invited to my in-laws' house for Thanksgiving, and so will not be alone for their first Thanksgiving away from here. For that, I am thankful!
God has blessed my husband and me with an abundance of children who love the Lord. For that, I am thankful!
