COUNTING MY BLESSINGS

I LOVE THANKSGIVING! REALLY, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THANKSGIVING! HAVING THE FAMILY TOGETHER, THE WONDERFUL AROMA OF ROASTING TURKEY, PLAYING GAMES WITH THE KIDS, WATCHING THE GRANDKIDS PLAY FOOTBALL TOGETHER, ALL OF US EATING OURSELVES INTO OBLIVION AND OF COURSE THE REAL "INDIANS" AND "PILGRIMS" DECKED OUT IN AUTHENTIC COSTUMES! IT WILL BE HARD NOT TO HAVE EVERYONE TOGETHER THIS YEAR BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE HOME FROM ENGLAND AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL FAMILY SO MANY TIMES THIS PAST SIX MONTHS! THE FOOTBALL, SOCCER, LACROSSE GAMES HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT AND WATCHING THE GIRLS DANCE AND THE BOYS PERFORM HAS BEEN SO FUN! WE WERE SO BLESSED TO BE AT DAWSON'S BAPTISM AND JACOB'S BLESSING. WE HAVE LOVED BEING IN YOUR HOMES, PRAYING AND PLAYING WITH YOU AND FEELING THE LOVE AND SPIRIT THAT IS THERE. THOUGH IT IS HARD TO SEE YOUR PARENTS FAILING IT TRULY IS A BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH THEM EACH WEEK AND OBSERVE THE LOVE AND DEVOTION THEY SHARE. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I LOVE MY FAMILY MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL. I AM SO BLESSED.TRULY, MY CUP RUNNETH OVER. MOM, GRANDMOTHER, KATHY
