Giving Thanks

I have many fond memories of Thanksgiving dinner.

It was always a very formal event at our house.

circa 1988

We would spend time setting the table...

polishing the silver...

filling the family crest glasses at each setting...

and occassionally, using the "real" china.

My greatest worry on Thanksgiving day was hoping I didn't break my Grandmother's china, not whether I would eat or not.

I have many things to be thankful for.

"God has been good, so good, I have been blessed."

I have a happy, healthy, wonderful family,

a Pastor that stands on God's word,

a loving church,

better health than most people could hope for,

and a country where men and women stand in my place to protect my freedom.

"God has been good, so good, I have been blessed."
