Blessed

Late night news just ended. Weekend is all but over. Family is heading off to their rooms and bed in their individual ways. I am sitting here just listening, thinking and thanking God for the great weekend this was. Thanksgiving Eve services at Central were awesome. The rice and beans challenge last week really rocked our worlds in many ways. Thanksgiving Day brought time with super friends and adopted family. The laughter and fellowship were incredible. The food .... wonderful as always. The weather was spectacular all weekend. Mild, sunny, storms and rain all mixed in here in the Valley. Golf with great friends on Saturday. Saw the movie Blind Side with the family. Awesome movie. Texas Roadhouse for lunch on Sunday. Christmas decorations all in place. Football games galore all weekend. Family breakfast together.

Lord, thank you for giving me these last few days with my family. I love them and am so blessed by them in my life. Thanks for my church family. For the great friends you have given me. For life and breath and joy and laughter. I am blessed, indeed, I am blessed ..... and grateful!!
