Thanksgiving Memo

The "Thanks" In Thanksgiving

Remember the little Jessica who was trapped in a well a few years back? How everyone in our entire nation (instantly) came together in prayer, hope, and aid for that little girl? They worked tirelessly and gave of themselves from the heart to save her and extract her from the well. That is how our family is. When someone is in trouble, we come running like over-zealous EMT's to the rescue. Who could ask for anything more? I am very grateful for all of you, and give thanks to the Lord for each of us.
In good times we think often of each other even when time does not permit a visit or a phone call.. there is a connection that cannot be broken. It borders on ESP. One will think of the other, and before too much time has passed, e-mails are sent, phone calls are made, and one shows up on the doorstep unexpectedly. We are surely Blessed. I am thankful for all of these things.
My thanksgiving goes out every day to God for all he has done for me. My back feels better now.. even tho there was a time (not too far back) I did not think my pain would ever go away. One of the seeds of blessing was planted when a massage therapist gave me a copy of Joel Osteen's book "Your Best Life Now". It took a long time for God to manifest all those promises.. but He did! The healing, the feelings of well-being have led to much hope for the future. So much so, that my on-line business is about to take off! Another shout-out of thanks to Henry for hooking me up with Dr Allyson. That was the huge turning point for healing. She in turn brought me to gentle Yoga. Which is a God-send for anyone with hurting joints and bones.
Thanks Lord, for this awesome family who helps me thrive every day. Thanks for being the most generous Heavenly Father that we serve.
