I'm sitting here this morning, in the living room of my parents house, while my husband is still sleeping on the air mattress - in the same room. Everyone else in the house is still sleeping, or staying quite in their rooms. Why I am up, is...I got my sister, mom, and myself out of the house to make it to Jo-Ann Fabric Saturday Doorbuster Sales. Well, I'm not too smart and I didn't check the ad for what time the store opened on Saturday and assumed it was the same as Friday!! Oops...we got to the store promptly at 5:50am, and there was not a car in site. Not even employee cars that I could see. So we laughed, and drove home.
I am thankful though. Thankful for the willingness of my family to get up and do something crazy like that together. Thankful for them not hating me for not knowing the correct time. Thankful for people who are flexible. This weekend hasn't been all that we've expected, but then again, why should we ever "expect," when God has other plans in mind. I'm glad God keeps reminding me that He's in control, and all I need to do is hang on for the ride, and not try to drive myself.
I love Thanksgiving time. It's a wonderful holiday that families and friends can share together, remember to be thankful, and eat good food.
Christy, I just caught up on your blog for the whole past year. Wow, you and your family have been through a lot. But, I'm glad to find you healthy and happy and full of God's goodness. I pray this next year for your family brings more joy. would love to see you guys if you're ever in the Redmond/Bend area.
