I'd be supremely ungrateful to neglect Thanksgiving. Home, family, friends, church, work - all gifts that I wouldn't ignore or minimize for anything. Grateful for a house full of family and friends, who at dinner expressed thanks for many things: Being employed again. Having a place to stay despite their flood-damaged homes. The birth of a new child. Horses.
Right now my house is full of young adults drinking wine and playing a viscious card game. I'm glad they choose here to gather!
We truly lack for nothing except a kidney. And we are doing well without it for the time being, thanks be to God. I couldn't even find something I wanted to run out for on Black Friday!
I am especially grateful that my own health is improving. It's been almost a year to the day since I got sick, and although I am not yet back to full-time work, I am gaining ground. Hubby's new job is getting him in better shape also, which will improve his health too.
I read on Facebook the other day: "It's not happy people who are thankful. It's thankful people who are happy."
So I am thankful.
