Happy Thanksgiving
It’s been a bittersweet day today. We’re still praying for and concerned about my Uncle who is critically ill. I was able to speak to my cousin this morning to get the latest news and not much has changed. He’s now heavily sedated so that he can rest as he’s been fighting to get off of the respirator. This news of course dampened our day.
Having Lady Ali here and her boyfriend here since last night made me put things in perspective though. To see them as a couple planning their future, knowing that Lady Ali’s graduation is just three weeks away and realizing how responsible and grown up she’s become made me a proud Mom.
They both helped with cooking. BF even brought us bagels and lox which is something we eat on holidays. It was kind of him to think of us that way. He also brought along some extra garlic as he bought a lot of it at Sam’s club. It just seemed like a family thing to do.
When we said grace we reflected on the loss of my other Uncle in September. The sadness that came along with that brought out some really positive things in my family. So when we prayed for healing of my Uncle we thanked God for having Uncle in our lives and for his love and kindness towards us.
I know that even through sad, difficult times God finds a way to make it work out for the good. I hold myself to that thought this day and try to do that always.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I pray that you had a day to not only eat really good food but time with loved ones and time to realize the goodness we often overlook in our lives.
