Today is Wednesday, oops, that means I have not added anything in a week. Just goes to show how busy life is. But life is so good. I can't believe Thanksgiving is only a week and a day away! It seems like it was just yesterday I was at a wedding shower the Sunday before my wedding. And now we have been married for almost 5 months. WOW!
Last week I decided to try the Bible study at our church. When I called the woman said "The younger group meets Wednesdays, but you are more than welcome to come..." I went, and was somewhat NOT surprised when I was easily the youngest person there... by 40 years. But the Bible study was amazing, those women were filled with so much wisdom and yes, I am going back!
I get to see my family in just a few days, which I am super excited about. I've had this conversation with my dad many times, families were not created to move as far away from each other.... And yet many American families are spread across the country because of jobs, school, and adventure.... I'm looking forward to the beach, fellowship, and GREAT food with my family for Thanksgiving. And here I might rant a little bit...
CHRISTMAS COMES AFTER THANKSGIVING!!!!!
Every single shop, the grocery store, even Home Depot are decked out with Christmas gear. Even the radio stations are playing Christmas Music. Ummm? Thanksgiving anyone? The last time I checked we are not even passed Turkey Day and yet people have moved on to Christmas. Some people even have their Christmas lights up in our neighborhood. Personally, I love Thanksgiving because it allows for an actual day to think about what we are thankful for, and to thank God for the blessings, and rejoice that he is in control during the hard times. This should happen every day, but how cool to have 1 day of the year dedicated to being with family and being THANKFUL.
The End.
