Thankful Thursday: Dalton and Megan's 1st Thanksgiving

 

This was my son, Dalton, and his wife, Megan's 1st Thanksgiving as a married couple.  They hosted dinner.  It was just nice getting the 2 families together.  We were only missing Megan's sister, Emily, and her boyfriend.

It's truly amazing to watch young love.

There's a purity about it that can only be recognized by people who have been in themselves.

Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I pray you have many more!

Wednesday's Word: Thanksgiving

Today's word is thanksgiving.  Are you surprised???

Many of us remember what we are thankful for during this time of year, but do we truly know what thanksgiving really means?

The first Thanksgiving was a gift from the Pilgrims to Indians to show their appreciation for helping them get through the first harsh winter in America.

When was the last time that you got a gift or something that actually altered your life in some way or another?

Thanksgiving isn't just saying thank you to that nice stranger for holding the door open for you.  That's a nice thing to do, but true thanksgiving goes deeper than that.

I've written before about how my brother, Luke, lost his son Zack.  They chose to donate his organs.  That wonderful boy saved 6 lives!!!

I pray those recipients and their families live in a constant state of thanksgiving.

Maybe that's what thanksgiving is, a state of mind and heart.
