Thanksgiving

Yesterday was that holiday typically surrounded by family, good wishes, laughter, turkey and 'What are you thankful for this year?' asked around the dinner table. It was a quiet one for Darren and I... we ended up staying home just the two of us ... Darren got called out at 3:30 am to plow and was gone for 7+ hours... and I was not traveling on the snow covered and icy roads by myself... (We were suppose to go to Washubrn to my brother's house with the rest of my family)... I missed the hugs and the sound of the children playing... I missed my families faces and their laughter... BUT... they all called me, checked in with me.. made me feel connected, even though I wasn't physically with them... we are always together in my heart... so.... I spent some time in the very early morning hours talking to God...and thanking Him and praising Him for all I have...and all He's done in my life... in my marriage...in the lives of those I love...in our church... and for what is yet to come. This past year has been so amazing and I'm so in awe of my Lord and how I can look back and see His plan and how it unfolded... Trust is the key word... coming to a place in my life where I trust Him completely! That is what this past year has been... a journey toward trust. A journey toward knowing no matter what...He's in control...and I am looking forward to another year of watching His perfect plan for me unfold.

Psalm 28: 6-8 Praise the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust in Him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. The Lord gives his people strenght. He is a safe fortress for his anointed King.
