Thankful for...

 Table all set.  Thanks to Jess for her help.

  Thankful for our food that God has provided us.

 Thankful for Andy and Jess to be able to join us for the week.

 Thankful for our family:  Mom and Dad, Andy and Jess

 Thankful for a godly husband.  Thankful for a godly mother.

 Thankful for wonderful grandparents for Jess

My parents and Jess and Andy joined us for our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It's always a joy to have them here together.  As with Keith and I, Mom and Dad hadn't seen Jess and Andy since the wedding and were able to visit and love on them while they were here.   {We missed having Rich, Lori and their family as well as Mark and Denise.}

 At the end of the evening, Andy and Jess took the wishbone and made their wish.

It was very close, but looks like Jess' wish will be granted.  Ha!

PSALM 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

On a personal note, I would like to give my thanks to the Lord for allowing me to attend church this past Sunday.  Most of you know, I struggle with the symptoms of Crohn's disease and have not been able to get to church on a Sunday morning in at least a year.  It was so great to be able to worship with Keith at the service last Sunday.  Praying I'll be able to continue.  The hymn (a very favorite of mine) that ended the service was very appropriate and such a blessing:
