Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Stopping in to wish all of my American friends a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!   Hug tight your family and friends and enjoy each other's company....

There's so much to be thankful for and many take for granted things like having a healthy family that loves them, a running vehicle, a job, a warm home to come home to, and food in their bellies

Tonight my friend and I were making homemade biscuits to add to a dinner that will be delivered to a church family in need tomorrow.  I recently learned about The Martha Project through a local church I was visiting and the speaker was sharing her testimony of being a foster parent and how others can get involved to provide respite, prayer, meals, mentoring, etc.

My friend knows this speaker on a personal level and was quick to jump in and get involved in helping with a meal - it's all about reaching out and helping others.   I hope they like these buttery biscuits we dropped off this evening.  It seems so small but I'm praying that it'll fill their hearts with love and their bellies with delicousness :)

I am having a growth spurt in my life right now and although it's painful and tough at times I know I'll be stronger and healthier.  Sometimes you have to "go there" and allow God to lovingly guide you.  I never want to stay stagnate in my life and it's important me to progress.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  Romans 12:2 NIV

Very recently we lost our wonderful pet yellow lab and it's taken awhile to get used to the absence of her presence in our home.   I will have a little test run in puppy sitting for my parents soon - it'll be a few weeks so I'll have some time to see if I could really handle having a new pup in my life.   For me, I think it'll be really worth it and I keep perusing the postings on a rescue site and find my self saying "awwww" aloud quite often!  

My parents pup is already a year old! Time is flying by as usual! Well it's time to prepare the green bean casserole soon and make myself presentable.

Have a wonderful holiday and I'll be back soon.  God bless!
