We're just two days away from Thanksgiving, and then four weeks to Christmas! Where does the time go? Zach and Wyatt are planning to come Friday to decorate our Christmas tree. They have helped every year since they were born, and it's something they seem to enjoy. Of course, I do too!
Most of the farmers in our area are still trying to harvest the crops, including us. It's been a rainy and wet fall! We're are thankful for a bountiful crop! And we'll be thankful when it's all "in the bin" too! Our calves did go to the sale on November 7th. They weighed in at 401 pounds each! We were thankful for the check we received for them. About a week later, we bought a young Angus bull. Wyatt named him Big Daddy T. The last calf we let Wyatt name was "Burger King", and we have maybe five or six packages of him left in the freezer.
We have so much for which to be thankful! I've been noticing on the Facebook pages that people are posting something each day for which they are thankful. I have not been doing that. In fact, I've hardly been on Facebook lately. So, because I have so little else to say, I'm going to list just a few reasons I have to be thankful!
- Jesus loves me!
- I can worship openly.
- I have parents who have loved me all my life....and continue to do so!
- I have godly parents.
- I have two sisters and a brother.
- I am prayed for daily....(by those godly parents)
- I have a faithful husband.
- I have two wonderful sons.
- I have two wonderful daughters-in law.
- I have grandchildren! And great grandchildren!
- Most of my family lives close (within 50 miles) and we get to see one another often.
- I have a comfortable home.
- I have reliable transportation.
- We have Christian radio.
- Indoor plumbing.
- I have a job!
- I have eyesight, and the ability to read.
- I have friends.
- I have clothing.
- I have plenty to eat.
- I'm in good health.
- I enjoy playing piano. I'm thankful now for those lessons!
- I live in Iowa, the heartland of the USA.
- I have enough.
Happy Thanksgiving!
