Thankful

It's been a very emotional week. Without going into too much detail, my grandfather has been in the hospital since early Sunday morning. He's had three small strokes, and the doctors have not a clue why. So we're praying for God to give the doctors wisdom along with asking for protection over his mind and body.

When you're in the midst of such a stressful situation, it's sometimes hard to remember to be thankful. But I am thankful. I'm so thankful for my friends and family. I'm thankful that my grandfather is coherent. I'm thankful for God's provision in my life. I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father who is always here no matter what I face.

Today we continue with our Thanksgiving prep. We (read: I) have buttermilk pies to bake and casseroles to prepare (and a kitchen to destroy). Tomorrow we'll watch parades, and eat, and eat, and well, eat some-more. And through it all, we'll remember how truly blessed we are.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
