Happy Thanksgiving

This candle is a beautiful reminder of our loved ones who can’t be with us today.

Well, Thanksgiving Day has finally arrived. The dressing and pies have been made and the turkey has been cooked. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day each day, to read my posts. I have had so much encouragement from my readers. So, thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing this journey with me.

While this day is a very happy day for many people, for others, it’s a really sad time. If you are one of those people, lean into Jesus today and ask for some strength and peace. He will give it to you. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for people who reach out to you. He may have sent them.

If this day is a happy day for you, I would like to encourage you to grab a piece of paper and jot down the ten things you are most thankful for. I’ll bet you will have a hard time stopping at ten.

Each year right before it’s time to eat our feast, my hubby quietly lights a candle in memory of his mom. He never says anything, but it’s a beautiful reminder that those we love never leave us. They will always be with us as long as we remember them. Feel free to join our tradition.

Please join me in a prayer for those men and women who can’t be home today because they are serving our country and keeping us free. Please join me in saying a prayer for those who are struggling today and extend a hand to help if you can. Please join me in a prayer of thanks for our many blessings because as a nation, we are truly blessed. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. ” Psalm 107:1 I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Have an awesome day!

Wendy 🙂
