'Twas the night OF Thanksgiving...and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring...not even a LOUSE! =)
All the people had gone to bed without THANKING GOD FOR...
All their BLESSINGS...the whole YEAR o're!
Here God had given them food, clothes, a place to stay,...
And MANY MORE Blessings...every.single.day!
But Life was too Busy to stop and Thank Him
I guess they thought He Owed it to them!
The saying goes,"What if you woke up Today, with only the things you Thanked God for yesterday?"
If that were so, You think we'd all see it in a different way?!
I plan on being GRATEFUL...and starting THIS MINUTE!
I'm THANKFUL for this house, and my SWEET family that's in it! =)
I'm Thankful for God, and for the LOVE His son Jesus had for ME,
To leave the splendor of Heaven to die on Calvary.
I won't go through my whole list...or we'd be here for DAYS...
But, I think you've caught my point...LET'S GIVE JESUS PRAISE! =)

Dearest Heather,
Awww what a beautiful family pic and very nice smiles! I get the message...I'm thankful, but just how much do we actually thank and praise Him! Happy Thanksgiving to your family and friends there in Columbia!!! Love and Praise, Hannah Klunder
I left you a comment last night and the computer ate it. This morning I opened your blog and read your poem of Thanksgiving to Grandmother and she thought it was so sweet and wanted me to send her a copy. She also wanted me to tell you that she, like you, is thankful for family, even if they are now all around the world! So I made a copy for her. She also told me that she just got the sweetest card from you. Thank you for taking time for your Grandmother each week, I am afraid that too many of us are often too busy running too fast to take the time to tell extended family that we love them. Daddy and I love you all and will think of you this Thanksgiving. The Hausmans invited us down to join them for their international Thanksgiving Dinner but as we must go to Tennessee to be with Grandmother for her surgury on Tuesday we decided we had better not do the drive to Cincy. The McBryants are including us with their family celebration so we won't be home alone. May your day be special. Love, Moma

Enjoyed your poem. I tried to upload our pics to update our blog from our Thanksgiving today and oops, gotta have some help with memory something... so I guess that will have to wait!
