THANKSGIVING IN TWO DAYS, REALLY?? GIVE THANKS!!!!

TODAY IS TUESDAY AND IN TWO DAYS I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE BOB'S FAMILY COME FOR THANKSGIVING. I PRAY I CAN NOT WORRY ABOUT THE THINGS YOU SEE IN THESE PICTURES BUT
FOCUS ON WHY WE ARE GATHERING TO GIVE THANKS.

THE LORD HAS SO GRACIOUSLY PROVIDED ALL THE DETAILS.
PROVISIONS OF FAMILY, FOOD AND GOOD HEALTH TO ENJOY.

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES FROM MY HOME TODAY. THINGS FOR WHICH I AM THANKFUL.

WAITING FOR MARK, OUR GOOD FRIEND WHO IS AN AMAZING HELPER, TO COME
AND PUT UP THE OVER THE KITCHEN SINK LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR
LOTS OF YEARS.

A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP THE PULVERIZED LEAVES ON MY FLOORS. ( WE LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD IN THE WOODS. LOTS OF LITTLE FEET LOVE PLAY AT MY HOUSE AND TRACK IN LEAVES AFTER WALKS IN THE WOODS!)

A FREEZER FULL OF ALREADY PREPARED FOOD FOR THE THANKSGIVING TABLE.

WASH TO BE DONE AND A SIGN, GIVEN TO ME BY A DEAR FRIEND, THAT REMINDS ME TO BE THANKFUL FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS....LIKE LAUNDRY TO BE DONE AND A HEALTHY HUSBAND THAT WEARS THOSE CLOTHES.

A HUSBAND WHO HAS ALREADY COMPLETED HIS "HONEY DO" LIST. HE IS SO WILLING AND ABLE TO COME ALONGSIDE AND HELP MAKE OUR HOME ORDERLY.

A GARAGE WAITING AND FULL, FULL, FULL OF RIDING TOYS FOR THE LITTLE ONES TO RIDE OUTSIDE WHILE WE ARE GETTING THE FOOD READY INSIDE!!!!

EMPTY TABLES THAT WAITING FOR LOVED FAMILY TO FILL THE CHAIRS AND FOR SWEET CONVERSATION TO TAKE PLACE.

EMPTY POTS WAITING TO BE FILLED WITH GOOD THINGS. LIKE MY HEART THAT IS PRAYING TO BE FILLED WITH RIGHT ATTITUDES OF WHY WE GATHER TOGETHER ON THIS HOLIDAY....NOT FOR CLEAN HOUSES BUT CLEAN HEARTS....SO THAT WHEN THE DAY COMES WE WILL BE PREPARED TO GIVE THANKS AND SHOW

THE WARMTH OF JESUS' WELCOME.
