I've got to be honest, I'm not feeling it. Normally, I am super excited to decorate my house for the holidays. I usually can't wait to get the tree, tear through the boxes of ornaments and festive decorations. This year...I don't know what it is...I'm just not there. I don't know if it is stress, celebrating the holidays knowing that a piece of our family is missing, or something else entirely.
Don't misunderstand me though, we had a really good Thanksgiving. I am thankful for so many things in my life. My salvation in Christ and the hope that comes from Him. My husband, who loves me despite my many, many flaws. My compassionate daughter. My loving son. My family. My amazing friends. I have so many reasons to be grateful.
Here is our Thanksgiving...
Jenny gave the kids some action figures that belonged to Craig when he was little and they played with them almost all afternoon...
We went on our walk to the park and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Basil found her twin at the park...
As I was taking this picture Landon totally photo-bombed my shot...
We came back to the amazing aroma of Chris' Thanksgiving meal.
It was delicious...
The kids had a blast climbing all over Dommy!
I love my baby brother!
I am full of thanks for all that the Lord has blessed us with and for bringing us through the storms of life.
God is so good. All the time. Even when it doesn't feel like it.
