Week 8 # 19

Thanksgiving at My House


Thanksgiving is a very special holiday at my house. My family every year sit at the table after breakfast and makes a list of things we are thankful for this year. My boys enjoy this part of the holiday every year. It's amazing how things change every year. When they were little they were thankful for the pet, their friends and their family. They were thankful for McDonalds, Burger King, etc. As they gotten older, they have a much bigger list. Now they're thankful for their mom and dad, grandparents and their aunt and uncles. They are thankful for their mom staying home and home-schooling them every year. They are thankful that dad has a good job and enjoys what he does. They are thankful they live in America and are able to go to church. THey are thankful we can pray together and read the BIble together. They are thankful for their salvation and the faith in God. We enjoy our time together as a family and especially all the good food. This year will be a little different because things have changed for us. I used to do the cooking and have my in-laws over for the day. Now my mother-in-law has passed and everyone has kind of gone their own way. We're headed for my sister's house this year to join her family along with my mom and dad. I'm looking forward to doing something a little different.
