Today was a wonderful day! The weather was beautiful, my brother was home and my entire family was together. Nothing makes me happier! While Emmy and Nanny took a nap, John Robert and I went for a long walk. I showed him the places that I used to play as a child. We spent a little time at the creek just listening to it babble. We wound up on the swing where JR took a little cat nap. Granddaddy and Robbi joined us for a while. Three of my favorite fellows on one swing! I was in "hog heaven"! Things were so peaceful. For a while, I felt as carefree as when I was a child. I just sat there thanking God for the wonderful family that he has blessed me with and the peace and comfort that he provides me.
I always feel a little guilty around the holidays because there are people that have no family or food or comfortable home. Sometimes we take things for granted. I pray that God will bless those people and show me ways that I can help them if He would have me to.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Perhaps I will see some of you in the morning at 5am at Wal-Mart! (I know, I am crazy! I just can't pass up a bargain!)

Sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family! We definitely have A LOT to be thankful for-family, food, friends, and a wonderful God. I hope you have a great day back at work tomorrow. Sawyer is looking forward to seeing JR @ GA in the morning!
You are so right---we are abundantly blessed and I take so much for granted! God is so good! I have been thinking about Christmas and how crazy things get. I want to start a good Christmas tradition for our children so they can help out a needy person or needy family at Christmas time. I think that would be much more rewarding than getting gifts! Anyway, I'm glad you had fun with your family and got to relax. I love to walk around outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and God's wonderful creation! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas~
