Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends, family, and readers. Here are a few of the things I am thankful for this year:
- My husband Tom, who… well, too many reasons to name here. 
- Our families, who have adjusted to these marriage-induced changes in holiday traditions with grace and flexibility.
- Our friends, who form our family-away-from-family, and who stand with us in both times of joy and sorrow.
- The many material blessings we have received, which can be so easy to lose sight of. We are exceedingly fortunate to have abundant food, clothing, and shelter.
These are just a few, but they’re the big ones. And now, a blessing for our Thanksgiving feast:
Blessed are you, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth. You have blessed us in Your abundance this year, and we humbly ask Your blessings again as we gather to count them and celebrate Your care and provision for us. Nourish us with this food, and make us mindful that it is Your hand which provides it for us. In the name of Your Son, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.

WHile i enjoyed the sentiment of this read, do you realize that when one clicks on the “joy” link, they get a “Not found” message. And that seems to defeat the spirit of the post, at least the joyful part. Just thot you’d like to know.
