Its so much a blessing to be near family.  We had our first of many thanksgiving celebrations, I had both my kids and their families here for a big blow out thanksgiving dinner. Yes its two weeks before thanksgiving.  Such a thanks giving rose in my heart. Because of my car accident, young and old would not let me do much. Just let my body heal. I love  everyone! My grand daughters were baking  and frosting and cleaning my house in preparation for our big day.  So much fun to have so many hands helping getting the meal ready. Cutting up the meat another was making gravy, another one pulling stuff out of refrigerator. The last time we did this was 13 years ago. Only had 4 grandchildren at that time. They most likely didn't even remember we did do it.  Now I have 12 plus some adorable twin babies with us too. My 2 oldest grandsons couldn't be there. We having them over one evening before thanksgiving.  Nothing makes me more happier than to have my kids and grandchildren over. My hope and prayer is they will be impacted with the love of Jesus.  That they too will discover the joy of walking daily with Jesus.
