Happy Thanksgiving Friends!!!

We have been in Colorado 9 months now...soon to be 10 months on December 3rd.  I remember coming to Colorado in December last year to look for a place to live.  I remember feeling terribly upset about having to move, but trying to stay on track with the Lord.  I remember we came back home in time to celebrate Christmas with family.  It felt so good to be home.  That Christmas we all felt a bit of sadness knowing that we would be moving away.

So here we are in Colorado celebrating the holidays alone.  I am thankful for a warm and cozy house in the mountains to celebrate Thanksgiving in.  I am thankful that we are together.  I am thankful for our friends and family.  God has blessed us tremendously and I have seen His work in our lives.  I am so thankful for His love and care.  Wishing each of you a blessed Thanksgiving day.  ((hug))

lovely land out there.
swoon worthy. :o)

being 'alone' for Thanksgiving has a certain special simplicity. we've become accustomed to the practice (overall) and over the years have made family out of a few friends. such friends will be with us this special day.

stand in awe of His presence this day, becky. allow delight in the little things to be the focus. bathe in the beauty of your present home.

happy thanksgiving, friend. :o)

Being far away from family at Thanksgiving and Christmas can be so hard. I remember those first few times over here in Japan very well. It does get easier - especially when we remember to list all the things we have to be thankful for as you did.

Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving, dear Becky!
