Thanksgiving Blessings

Thanksgiving is the bounty of the harvest, the beauty of the season, the blessings of God's many gifts.

I have many things that I could write at the moment to express how grateful I am for all of the blessings in my life. However, we would all be here reading this for a very, very long time. There is not one person in my life, whether past or present, that I am not grateful for. I believe with all my being that we cross paths with others because God wants us to. It is our choice to recognize it and make the best of each adventure and relationship. If you have your heart open, you learn from these special individuals (I call them angels) and you make many memories with them. They are timeless, sacred and tangible blessings from the heart. I count my blessings each and every day. If you are reading this, you know how special you are to me. Thank you for all of your love, guidance, friendship and support in my life journey. Thank you for loving me and for loving my precious family-

I have posted a picture of Big John and Mema and of Grandma Kay (Pat's grandmother)
They are on our minds and in our hearts this holiday season. We miss them terribly, but know that we will see them again someday. I know that they are watching over all of us and encouraging us to always do what's right and to love without end.

This Thanksgiving, may it be a source of inspiration and wonder to know that there's a loving God watching over you, and that he's always close by your side.

We miss them too. I think that we all do. They were such an amazing presence in all our lives. We are most blessed to have had them as grandparents, role models and mentors.
