The third Thursday of November we celebrate the blessings in our lives. It's been a tradition since 1621 when the New England Puritans instituted the feast. Despite recent traditions (Turkey, Ham, Sweet Potatoes, Detroit and Dallas football), Thanksgiving was intended to remind participants of their bountiful blessings. Chances are pretty good that the old hymn "Count Your Blessings" will be sung the Sunday prior or the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
This past week, I've been reminded time and time again of God's blessings. Why is it that we wait until November to remember how good God is? When we truly understand God's love, grace, mercy etc., Thanksgiving happens in June, July, November and every day of our lives.

Don't you mean A&M/Texas. I am really glad you guys have the many blessings you have recieved. It kind of proves that God has so many ways to enhance the blessing he bestows every day. It sounds like the plumbing and painting have become blessings.
Ya'll got to spend time with the inlaws and the Christian got to enjoy being the only child there!
I'm glad you are back bloging.
Miss you guys.
So says Mike
Miss you too! Thanks for the Texas Pecan...
