Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving- both Tito's family and mine gathered at our house and ate a wonderful turkey with stuffing and the trimmings prepared by my sister. We even visited with my in laws in the Philippines via web cam......The hospital allowed my dad to have more visitors than allowed so me, my mom and sister, Adrienne, my brother in law and sister in law went to see him. I know my dad was glad to see them and it made his holiday more enjoyable.
I am always thankful for Jesus, for Who He is, what He has done, His word, all of it.
I am thankful for my parents, my sister and her family, Tito and his family.
I am thankful for Tito- my hard working loving best friend and husband.
I am thankful for my loving, smart, talented kids.
I am thankful for my blogging friends that pray for me and give me encouragement.
I am thankful for my job and Tito's job and everything it allows us to afford so that we can live a comfortable life.
I have covered the basics but I am thankful for so much more. I am most thankful for being able to ask God to "create in me a pure heart and re new the right spirit within me" I have been really sad but the smile on my face is not a mask, I feel God's presence with me, His peace, strength, joy, grace, mercy, love is surrounding me and I am able to press on in Faith with no anxiety because He lives and I can face tomorrow.
