Thanksgiving is here

Like it or not, Thanksgiving is here. We have so much to be thankful for..everyday of the year should be Thanksgiving.. not just one time of the year. Here are a few things on my list this year.

* salvation through Jesus Christ, He is the only way. He is always there for me.
* wonderful Godly heritage. Thankful my mother raised me in church.
* wonderful family. They are a group of special people. We always know how to have fun..
* Godly husband.. where would I be without him.. He knows my true feelings about everything in my life. He works hard to provide for me..and does everything he can to make me happy..
* a job that I enjoy. It is my calling, and my desire to help people and to make them feel better.
* Home.. some people have just a house.. it goes way beyond that. we have a home.. and it is not a huge ,fancy place but without a doubt,was meant for us.. thankful for this..
* Wonderful friends.. I love my friends.. I have a few that I consider close.. but I have one TRUE, best friend, and she knows me like the back of her hand. I thank God he chose our paths to cross that September morning, over 25 years ago.
* Food and Clothing.. This is something that i take for granted.. we have never went hungry nor went without the clothes we need.
* Traditions.. Thankful for the new and old ones we have in our family..that my parents made for us growing up. They mean the world to me, and I hope to pass on.
*Talent.. thankful to get to be used for His honor and glory.
* Memories...thankful for all the memories I have of loved ones, and special times.. My mother and daddy have always given us precious memories..
*Promises. i am thankful for God's promises.. He will always be there, and He keeps us safe.
* Heaven. Thankful that I really get to go.. Thankful for my loved ones there, that I get to see one day... especially my grandfather, Uncle Vick, and David, my fatherinlaw.. It gets sweeter every day.

these are just a few things I am thankful for..My list could go on and on.. Here are a few other things.
Dirty dishes.. it means we had food to eat.. and full bellies.
Taxes.. cause it means I am employed.
Heat and Air..means I am warm and cool..
Ablity to travel..this may not always be.. so We do it while we can.
my alarm clock that goes off.. it means I am alive..and that I can hear ..but doesnt mean I always get up..lol
Laundry..it means we have plenty of clothes..
Pictures..it means I have captured fond memories with the ones that are dearest to my heart..

so, just a few other things... We wish you and your family a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.. spend it with the ones you love and cherish every moment.. as it could be the last one ever you will get to spend with them.

I am making deviled eggs and a strawberry pretzel salad..it looks yummy... Have a great day everyone..!!
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME AND MY FAMILY!!!!

blah

ok..so, right now as i type this.....i am coughing my head off..... i had this ''crud'' a few weeks ago, and it went away after several bottles of robitussin and mucinex...yesterday, i was around a guy who had a terrible cough, and was sneezing like crazy.... by nitefall last night, i was again, back in this same shape... i went to the doctor today for something else, but while there got treated for an upper respiratory infection.. i got some cough medicine, antibiotics, and a few other things..

i hope to feel better just in time for the big day on thursday..

this year, thanksgiving will be tough..it will be our first big holiday without Uncle Vick it is so hard to believe he has been gone for almost five months... i miss him.. i miss his voice when i call my aunt, i miss him greeting me on my grandmother's front porch, as we pull in to her yard on thanksgiving.. i am sure he is going to be having the best thanksgiving ever..in Heaven..

i feel kind of blah, right now..just kind of hard to ''feel the hoildays''.. the weather here has been unusually warm..it doesn't feel like November... i went on friday to get my hair done, hoping to make myself feel a little better, and we had sigma saturday on saturday, met with some friends on friday for supper, it was fun... i have been dealing with a few personal things, i have had a few disapointments come my way, and i have been sad about some decisions made by a few other people.. but i am giving it to the Lord..He knows what is best..and will give me everything in His time..and will give me the desires I have, according to His will.

Thanksgiving Food and Fun

yes, it's obvious...i have the Thanksgiving meal on my mind already....looking at some of our yummy food from last year..just had to post the pics of some of the food.... i look forward to this time of the year..oh, but do i miss summer soooo bad... i am wishing i was in our pool, chillin out and catching some of rays real bad right now...but oh well...

i got some ribs cooking in the crock pot right now, and they are smelling so good... i went grocery shopping this morning, and i was looking at all the turkeys.. they are sooo big.. i am not sure what i will be making for our annual feast this year..but one thing is for sure..we are looking forward to our tradition of our annual Thanksgiving hayride.. nothing like it.. and memories i love..

i am especially thankful today for the friendships i have.. i only have a handful of people i consider my ''true friends.'' they mean the world to me and for that i am grateful..

cool and cozy

i am lovin the cooler weather..i am disliking the time change very much!!!! i am so sleepy and ready for bed around 8 pm..that is not like me at all!! i love waking up on these cool, crisp, fall mornings..and cuddling up on the couch with a mug full of something warm..it just depends on my mood...hot cider, hot chocolate, or yummy coffee with my favorite creamer.. just chillin out and watchin tv..or whatever i want to do..lol
the holidays are almost here...i have already been getting some ideas for santa..lol...it is amazing, you can always think of stuff you need...lol...$$$$$$$,,lol...
we had a nice, girl's night out friday night..me and my sisters, niece, and mommy...she was so sweet..she treated us all to a great meal!! and we went shopping afterwards... i am looking forward to going, Lord willing, tommorrow night to our annual Thanksgiving dinner Ladies fellowship..it is always a blessing!! we have been blessed so much this year!! it has been hard at times, and we have had a few things come our way, but He has never failed us!! Amen to that..

Blessed

I love this time of the year... although the change of season tends to get to me and my sinuses/allergies...ugh... it has been really dry here, and I have suffered all week with a terrible cough and bad sinus drainage... I am getting better day by day but it seems to be getting the best of me.. please pray I feel better soon. He blesses us with so much everyday, we are so undeserving of His goodness..

This morning, hubby and I got up real early, and was among the first in line to vote.. He made me breakfast this morning..It was a real treat.. We voted, and he dropped me back off at home, before leaving to go to work.. I returned back to bed..and slept till he called me at 11:ooam.
I needed that rest sooo bad...
The holidays are fastly approaching...almost time to start putting out all the Christmas stuff..I love it,and I love celebrating the season.. my Sisters, niece, and my mom, hopefully will be having a fun girls saturday..looking forward to that this weekend....not sure what we will get into..
