happy thanksgiving...

well, it's already the end of the year & turkey day's tomorrow... usually spike & 'the guys' from his side of the family all leave the night before thanksgiving (tonight) & head out for a camping trip of 4 days or so... well, this year, they were having trouble pulling it together as spike's been working so much overtime, a nephew of ours just got a new job so he can't take off work, etc., etc., etc.... spike decided to not go (so the trips off now) & to stay home to make sure he's got things caught up by the beginning of next week... it'll be the first thanksgiving we'll ALL be together & i'm looking soooo forward to it... there's been so much going on in our family (not immediate family) that's just plain 'not right', but even with all that, we can still see we've so much to be thankful for... god's been very good to us & he's given us so much... we've got jesus christ, our health, roofs over our heads, children around us, friends, family, etc., what more could we ask for?... it's just a nice time of year to sit & reflect on what we've got in our lives & pray for those that don't have nearly as much... again, happy thanksgiving!!
