Family Thanksgiving

The LORD allowed us to once again get together as a family. We had a good time cooking...THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING:) We started and ended in a jiffy! Then, of course, it was time to grubb. We were all thankful for being together and enjoying a "plentiful" meal. O give thanks to the LORD for He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For the last week or so some “hard issues” have come up that have had my mind thinking and meditating upon. The LORD has been reminding me to be thankful for “what I have” not for what I don’t have.

This morning was sweet and interesting. My hubby got up with me to help me get started for the day. We put the turkey in the oven and then sat and chatted and drank coffee. It was really a sweet time. My mind raced to a couple of women whom I know will be missing their husbands - this last week their own husbands have been taken from them; one in a tragic accident and another from a brain tumor.

O to be thankful for “what I do have” and not dwell on what I don’t have.

This will be our first year without having our daughter with us; however, we are thankful that she is serving her LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

Much to be thankful for; much to enjoy; much to thank My Jesus for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at Gracia Calvary

We had a special dinner and service at our church.

O how pleasant and good it is when the brethren gather together in thanksgiving and praise to Our Wonderful and Awesome God.

Thanksgiving 2007

Thanksgiving Day was here and gone. Shopping, cooking, dishes (where do all the dishes come from???), etc., all a thing of the past. I thank the Lord for all that He did and He continues to do. He continues to mold and shape me. He continues to show me that I am to teach and share the things that He has taught and shared with me through others. So once again we gathered together at my nieces and nephews home. We chopped and peeled and stirred. Once again everyone was very happy with the results. This year the Lord added to our family. The Sanchez Family and Luis, all brothers and sisters from our church. I believe we all had a good time. My nephew, Jose, shared from God's Word and some shared from their heart. Soooooo, Thanksgiving 2007 is but a memory. At the end we all just sat there, we couldn't move because we all ate too much.

Happy Thanksgiving - Enjoy!

"My Utmost For His Highest - ...To be shallow is not a sign of being sinful, nor is shallowness an indication that there is no depth to your life at all - the ocean has a shore. Even the shallow things of life, such as eating and drinking, walking and talking, are ordained by God. These are all things our Lord did. He did them as the Son of God, and He said, "A disciple is not above his teacher..." (Matthew 10:24)"

On this Thanksgiving Day when, it seems, all we do is eat, the Lord had to remind me to "enjoy the eating and drinking". Don't be so serious and uptight. Don't want everything perfect (according to Leti). Relax...Enjoy...Laugh! Today is what we have and we should enjoy it. So many changes have occurred in my life and the life of my family that we need to take each opportunity to enjoy each other.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing. Job 8:21

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. Psalm 126:2-3

So let us rejoice for truly the Lord has done great things!!!
