Thanksgiving and Thankstaking

Thanksgiving is here again--happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I was just sitting here thinking that Thanksgiving isn't a major holiday, but what an important one it is and should be--much more than we think of it to be. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for the blessings you have been given.
Well my Maker has truly given me so many blessings, and I've taken them with a thankful heart. Thanksgiving is a sort of spirit that lives at my house. Everyday I live with a Tiny Tim, and I am truly thankful for each day that is uneventful and joyous.
Your heart is so thankful when you know that your life can be snatched out from under you any second, but a day passes and it isn't. Instead it is filled with joy and blessings. Now how could my heart not sing my thanks and praises to my Heavenly Father?
I am thanking and praising him for the good works he has set forth in my life, and forthe ones that he is still completing, and for giving me one more day of joy to hold my sweet little ones and love on them.
Here's to all of you who have lost and continue to live and love, to those who hang in the balance and focus on the present joy instead of the possible strife, and to those who are going through hell, but just keep going. Thank God even if you don't feel like thanking him--keep thanking him and soon you will be taking in those blessings he has stored up for you.
