Thanksgiving Blessings

 Thanksgiving is a very special holiday to me. I have so many reasons to be thankful and I just love to share these things with friends and family. I consider it a wonderful blessing to teach my children the importance of giving thanks. The Lord has blessed us for many years with good things and it is only fitting that we return thanks to HIM for these blessings.

This year I am most thankful that we will have our foster child for one more holiday season. It has been a blessing and wonderful opportunity to minister to him. Even though the fostering job is a hard one, I am very thankful that God chose us to play a special part in this little guy's life. I would like to take this moment to encourage you (if you have ever thought about becoming a foster parent) to please check into this and get involved. There are so many children waiting for a special home and family to be a part of. Even if you don't think you could be a foster parent, reach out to a foster family in your town this holiday season. Foster families can always use a helping hand.

We have the wonderful tradition of spending the Thanksgiving holiday at the beach with my sister and her family. It is always such a wonderful time. I pray that each and every one of you will have a very blessed Thanksgiving.
