Although I love Farmor dearly, she does so much for our family and we are so thankful for her, but sometimes we have different ideas of raising children. It can be a challenge but if we don't agree with what the other is doing we just let it go ;).l-Jayhttp://mylittlenorway.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-966726365156782232009-11-25T07:48:50.924-07:002009-11-25T07:48:50.924-07:00And when there is no family coming over Give Thank...And when there is no family coming over Give Thanks Also for the peace and precious memories we all have. We can be thankful for the love He shows us. I will be so very Thankful to God tomorrow because my sons, even though they live out of state and cannot be with us this year, they have a wonderful walk with the Lord and they have wonderful healthy families, what could be greater than that. They have come out of the pits of hell (drugs) and are now clean and giving thanks to Our God. I give thanks for my other son whom doesn't speak to me very often but I still have fond memories and when I think of him I smile. <br />I will give thanks for my friends, of which I have been blessed with many.<br />I will be thankful for you Debbie for all your encouraging words on days that have many clouds.<br />Blessing my friend,<br /><br />Anna MayAnnaMay Riddellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-57571772200249520792009-11-24T23:20:19.173-07:002009-11-24T23:20:19.173-07:00Amen to that, Debbie.

Being thankful on Thanksgiving Day is so much more than having everyone follow our own agenda for the "perfect holiday." Extending grace is one way we can 'show' our appreciation for the people in our lives. Thanks for sharing this week.Denise J.

I could obviously add a thing or two, like no matter how hard I try to have everything clean and nice SOMEONE is sure to find the one thing that isn't and comment, haha...my actuality seldom meets my expectations. And yet you are sooo right. The more time I spend with Him, the less stressed I feel and the more I want others around me to know Him. This was such a great reminder. I am going to do just what you suggested and spend EXTRA time in prayer Thanksgiving morning. My company is beginning to arrive tonight (my Melly and her husband, YAY)and I am not feeling real well. If you could say a quick prayer for that I'd be most grateful. WAY too much to still do to not feel well and I want to enjoy my family too.
