I am on the road. We made a quick trip to Utah for the most amazing family event. However, two 13 hour days in a car and one day of family activity makes it hard to post. Add to that a lack of internet... But I need to keep up. Today is day two of… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 9 and Day 10

Let's be thankful to God 365 day in a row. Join me in thanking God when the sun shines down on us and when we find ourselves weathering the storms of life. Let us thank Him for all His goodness in the good times and in the hard times. Let's thank Him when He strengthens us and when He restores peace. Join me for the next year as I ponder on all of His goodness, tender mercies and blessing - large and small - that He showers on our lives each day.

In between the making of all the "fixin's" and the arrival of the guests, I decided to do a little research as to how this day came about and what might have really been served for dinner. The "traditional" meal includes roasted turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed… Continue reading Changing Thanksgiving Traditions
