the day after

Black Friday. The day after the o-my-gosh-did-I-really-eat-that-much day. Day two in a much needed four day weekend. Call it what you will, but today is the day after Thanksgiving.

Although I could not be with my extended family, I was blessed to have my husband and children around my table. The turkey was moist, the potatoes smooth, the onion rings on the green bean casserole crunchy. All was perfect. Then we topped it off with pumpkin pie and coffee. A perfect end to a perfect meal.

Once again, 'tis the Season.
So as Christmas approaches, let all of us remember the good times and resist the commercialism and stress that seems to get injected into this time.  Let it be instead a time of Joy, a time to remember family and friends, a time to reflect on the God who made all this possible, a time to continue the attitude of thanksgiving we enjoyed yesterday, being thankful for all we have been given and all we are able to give to others.

Blessings to you all!
