Thanksgiving Day 7

My sister called me today. She has a new pacemaker and is doing good. She is home and feeling better. She sent me messages but my computer didn't get them. Boy am I thankful now!

Thanksgiving Day 6

We all live our lives with certain sayings that help to rule our thinking. One of mine is - No News Is Good News. So needless to say that has help today as I wait for news about my sister. It isn't easy sitting waiting but she hasn't got it easy either. I am thankful for that saying. My son called me this afternoon and told me that he took his 2 year old granddaughter to see the Sesame Street show that was in Green Bay. She loved it and sat through it . When he put her on the phone she was happy and we both mentioned Elmo and Big Bird. I liked that call. I am thankful for that also.

Thanksgiving Day 5

Today I am worried about my sister Betty. She went to the doctor yesterday for a heart problem and trouble with her pace maker.
She was put in the hospital and her DIL told me today that her husband told her they were going to fix the problem. Its amazing what they can do now and I am praying that God gives the docs sure hands and knowledge.
I am thankful for being taken out for breakfast this morning and having good conversation with a good friend. I have known this lady for quite awhile. I met her when my boys were little. Isn't it amazing how God gives a chance to enjoy something even when you are worried.

Thanksgiving Day 4

Sometimes when you try a new recipe you make mistakes. Thats what I did making two loves of pumpkin bread today. I left out a half cup of oil. But it turned out okay. So I am thankful for that. I have a loaf for the freezer and a loaf to eat. I have had a couple of slices and it was good and it looked good also. So you see God even helps when we make mistakes.

Thanksgiving Day 3

I am thankful for my home. I have had this home for 33 years . There is something about knowing you have a place to lay your head down. A place you can hide when things are not going like you want them to. I moved into this home with school boys who are now grown. Now the children in the house are my great grandchildren who visit me. This house is my sanctuary. We all need a place- this one is mine.

God and Me

If you are wondering why I didn't thank God first it is because I have seen too many people thank God for this award and that award and still live questionable lives. Some sound so unreal and done for show. I know if it wasn't for God in my life I wouldn't be around. My relationship with God is not for show or for blogging. Joyce

Thanksgiving Day 2

I am thankful for friends far and near. They make a day go better with calls, e mails and comments on this blog.
Family and friends are two things that most people can be thankful for. It is so easy not to be thankful and to expect them to be around. I am blessed with them and by them.
What will Day 3 bring?

Thanksgiving

Starting today I am going to post something I am thankful for and plan to do this until Thanksgiving Day. It's a simple task and doesn't take too much thinking to do.
I am thankful for my family; the good things and the bad things. It isn't perfect by no means and they give pause to think but they are my family and I love them.
