This free verse poem touches home as I tell how my Thanksgiving get together went! I love Thansgiving because family gets together and shares their life for that day! All of us have grown up and lost different family members and we all have that saddness, but for Thanksgiving, we are thankful for today, That moment of memories to charish forever. Throughout the year Christ Jesus is in my heart, He is in my home and wherever I go. I love you and praise you Jesus! I await His return with an earnisness of peace and Joy, because I know all suffering and pain will be gone forever! Thansgiving! The laughter of lots of children playing. The multitudes of adults visiting. Their voices blend in a harmonious noise. The smiling faces, Everyone putting forth their best happiness and thankfulness for that day. The greetings of love, hugs, kisses, hand shakes and pats on the shoulders. The all familiar faces of immediate family members. The saddness of each individual needs. Their struggles, the poorness of most. The love each one puts forth for that day. The Joy I feel. My need to visit as many people as possible. To say "Hi!" to unfamiliar faces. To ask them "what is your name?" "Who are you married too?" "Are these your children?" "What are their names?" "How pretty your baby is!" "Who made this dish?" "It's so good!" "Can I have the recipe?" To thank the ones who really made this holiday possible. To thank them is important to me. I pray they know how much I appreciated all their hard work. A hug, a kiss on the cheek and a friendly good bye. The thought of how many blessings I have taken for granite throughout that year. My list contains around 100 things I am thankful for, not just one or fifty, but 100. God has blessed me abundantly with life, with a home, with a lover and lots of friends, He has blessed me with His love, His all surrounding closeness in my heart. He has given me His sanctifing Grace of forgiveness for my sins, all because He says ask me for anything and I will grant it, all you have to do is turn from your sins, ask for forgiveness and believe. Jesus is the Glourious God of Abundant Love and Blessings! I hope and pray Jesus is Your Savior. "Love bears all things. Believes all things. Hopes all things. Endures all things. Love never ends..." 1 Corinthians 13:7-8 If you need Jesus in your life, take up His word the Bible and read the New Testament or the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said to the theif, because you believe you will be in Heaven with me today! Jesus made clear the path for all of us who Believe, that when we pass on from this life, we pass on to a new life in heaven with Him. Praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!! Amen!!

I know exactly what you mean! For some reason just now, God chose to intervene and save some food from burning after I forgot about it. It's just cooked perfectly. Main course actually got a little charcoaled in spots but the dessert is just perfect! He knows that I have a lot on my mind now--but I know that I can't depend on Him to save my face like this all of the time, because I'm capable of better. But it's great to have God take over in the kitchen at times! LOL

Thank you sweetie! Yes! My faith is strong and tends to get stronger all the time, and especially when things get bad, I rely on Jesus to get me through it. Some days I pray the Lord would hurry up and come back, because I want all the suffering and pain to stop. But I know He will in His timing not mine. I prayed for Larry today, I usually say a prayer before he leaves the house, well today I didn't but I was on my way to the doctors and I just had this feeling to pray for Larry so I did, when I got home he told me he had a close call, on the road that the truck began spinning and he ended up in the ditch almost flipped the truck, but was able to drive out. I know that that prayer I said saved him. I praised and thanked the Lord as soon as Larry told me about it, because I know the Lord was watching out for him. I do love the Lord and do a lot of praying and talking to him, when I tell people He talks back to me they think I'm crazy but He does, especially if I'm being prideful or judgemental any sin that the Lord knows I'm thinking about, He corrects me and tells me the way it should be. I listen and agree that He is right and I thank Him for teaching me and putting me in my place, LOL!! Well AJ you know what I mean, I'm sure He talks to you to and helps you with different things! But any ways I got way off course. I love life in general and have learned to be loving is to be happy. I love my family and I love get togethers especially. I see people a lot differently then I used too. Before because of my experiences and because of my diseases, I used to see people as untrustable, liars, theifs and cheats. But through the years of theraphy I have been through I have learned to trust people and think better of them, especially if I don't know them, I give them the chance to prove to me they are good. Oh you run into the bad apples, but thats the time that you ask God to bless them and change them. especially if it's someone you have to be around. Faith is what I would like to be greatest in as far as my spirituality goes. But of course love is the greatest trait we all need. Love for ourselves and for others. I hope the Lord blesses more people this year with Love and giving to others in need. Take care! Glad you commented on this, thank you! God Bless you and keep you safe! hugs and prayers!
