Thanksgiving '12

Thanksgiving is really here already.   I'm glad we have a day set apart to THANK GOD for all HIS abundant blessings and provisions, and to spend time with family and friends.

I am grateful for salvation, my church, my family, friends, my job, areas of ministry, my health, my home, and for all that He has taught me and guided me through this past year.   It has been a fairly difficult and challenging year, and I am thankful that God was with me throughout.  I am thankful for what He has shown me in the area of PRAYER this year; and it is that and our elections that has pointed me to the "If My People" 40-day Prayer Guide, which I will be giving to my class this year for Christmas.

I am also grateful that in these tough economic times, that God has provided and I'm even moving another step forward in eliminating debt.  I am glad I have been able to really be a good friend this year.

I do, however, have some mixed emotions about not hosting this year.   It's been strange to not be so busily planning the menu and preparing for the food.

Overall, I am just thankful that HE is GOD of my life!   Amen!

29-Nov:  It takes a lot of work to put together a Thanksgiving get-together; but, unfortunately, it doesn't take much to "ruin" it.    Everything was fine and enjoyable right up till dessert.   Then one guest changed everything and when asked how my Thanksgiving was, just because of that, I am not able to say "good", like I usually do.
