"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."-John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Happy Thanksgiving week to all! I am reminded of so many years of being with my extended family at Grammie's house! We would gobble till we wobbled! She would fix the basic Turkey dinner and probably about 15 pies and cakes for our huge group, and then everyone else brought the salads and sides. We had enough to have a church covered dish dinner just from our family!! Most of all, I loved spending time with my family, cousins, aunts and uncles, and my grandparents! What a blessing it is to have this special time carved out for family!
Since we have been living out of Texas, we have started our own traditions. Sure, we still decorate with fall decorations and get special plates and napkins, but we light a candle as we share what we're thankful for, in order to remember all the Lord has done for us this past year! It is such a special time to share with MY little family. The words above by President Kennedy remind me that we ought to live the words we utter so that we can genuinely convey our appreciation and thankfulness.
So, Give thanks- and LIVE thanks!
