With Thanksgiving in Our Hearts

Turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, and pecan pie…Thanksgiving brings so much happiness, not only to our bellies, but also to our souls.  This time of year gives us all a chance to pause and reflect on all of the blessings, big and small, filling our lives.

With taste buds satisfied and tummies filled, we find ourselves first of all grateful for the delicious traditional foods eaten in celebration of this holiday, thanks to a recent trip to the US by Ken with a grocery list from Heidi.  From there, we are reminded of how our basic daily needs are met…a roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes to wear, and good health.  The friends and family members who fill our lives with so much joy naturally come to the front of our minds as so many memorable moments of the past year are thanks to times with them.  Of course with our great love of travel comes an appreciation for the opportunities we have had this year to experience so many amazing cultures and beautiful locations around the globe!  As we reflect on these along with countless other blessings, we truly realize how fortunate we are…and quickly give thanks!
