Thankful

Today as I reflect on Thanksgiving coming this week, I can't help but be thankful for my family. After losing two Uncles within two months, I have realized that life is so precious and special and at any moment it could be gone forever. Prior to this, we have not had a loss in our family since my grandmother passed away when I was 17 years old. I have always said how blessed we were to have my brothers, sisters, parents, one grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins, neices and nephews all still living. For a family as large as ours, it is uncommon for everyone to still be around. God has blessed us. The loss of my two Uncles recently has really brought things into perspective that we will not be here on this earth forever. Until the day comes for the Lord to take each one of us home, we must look past our differences and make the most of time spent with our family members. Let them know you love them - we all have a sense of selfishness but I want to have great memories of my family so I am going to make every effort to put myself aside and focus on my husband, children and all those who surrond me while we still have time. I want to encourage you to do the same. Look beyond circumstances and make the most of it. I want to make "Good Memories" and I pray you will do the same.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you - may God richly bless you spiritually!
