Giving Thanks

One thing that I ponder quite frequently is how exactly do you thank God for all the blessings He has freely given us?  I am quite certain that if I sat down with pen and paper in hand and began writing a list of every good thing He has given me I would be writing until I drew my last breath!

Somehow a simple "thank you" just doesn't seem to be enough.  Is being aware of those blessings and acknowledging that all good things come from Him with a wondrous and grateful heart enough?  I don't know.  What I do know is that, without Him, we are lost.  And I acknowledge that I am unworthy of every single blessing he has, amazingly, chosen to bestow on me.

Today my home will be filled with my family, friends, good food, fellowship, laughter and love.  I hope your Thanksgiving (and every other day) is full of love, family and blessings as well. 

A Care Package for Pierce

I just can't resist sending care packages to Pierce at school.  The Photographer laughs and shakes his head, saying it must be a "momma thing".  I suppose it is.  But mid-terms are on his upcoming schedule and he is studying like mad, in addition to the various student activities he is involved with. 

What's a momma to do?  Peanut Butter Fudge.  Individually wrapped and placed in an amusing, antique tin.  Shipped along with a current copy of his favorite magazine, a gift card to one of the local Mexican restaurants and a note card from Momma.  Just to let him know that I am with him in spirit, am certain that he will ace his mid-terms and that I love him dearly.
