Thanksgiving

While this Thanksgiving has come with it's own challenges, it has been a substantial improvement over last year. In hind sight, we can see how God has worked steadily over the last year through great difficulty to bring us here. At this table, we were blessed to have Heidi's grandfather, mother, and uncle join our table. We went around and said one thing for which we were were most thankful. I am thankful for God's grace allowing us to experience joy, gratitude, and generosity in all circumstances.
Heidi's mother and Emma get ready to eat. Emma and Mason end up drinking more McCutcheons cherry cider, a traditional Maryland favorite at our table, than they do eating the meal.
Heidi's grandfather eats a little of everything except turkey.

I'm the only one enjoying the Cowboy game. I have to keep reminding Emma that Thanksgiving is all about giving God thanks while enjoying family, friends, food and football.
