Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I probably will not have a chance to blog the next few days. Tomorrow will be very busy and on Saturday I will be giving my daughter-in-law Phyllis a shower. They know for sure now that they will be leaving for China on the 6th of December and returning on the 20th. If all goes on schedule, they will have their son in their arms the 8th of December. Oh happy day!!!

I have so many things for which to be thankful. First and foremost, I am thankful for my salvation. I am so glad that God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for me. When I was seven years old, I knelt beside our bathtub, and with my mom's guidance, I accepted Jesus Christ as my own personal Saviour. The most wonderful thing in the world is knowing that some day I will be in heaven with Him.

I am thankful for a hard-working godly husband, six beautiful children, and 10 (soon to be 11) grandchildren. I am thankful for terrific friends. I am thankful for food on my table, a roof over my head, and shoes on my feet. I am glad that I have a God who hears and answers my prayers. I am especially thankful for my Bible, that has all the answers to life's problems. It is through His word that He speaks to me. We serve a living Saviour!

Thank you dear God, for all you have given me!

Amen to all that! 10 Grandchildren already! I bet you can't wait for the next one's arrival. Blessings for the shower.
