It is that time of year when families across the nation get together. They gather around a great big table or tables and enjoy a rather large meal. Most gatherings like the are pleasant. While others may have some tension. No matter the situation we should still have some gratefulness.
So what am I grateful for?
Well I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for the wonderful job I have. My cat Rose who had been with me for 17 years. My wonderful friends. I may be living at home with my parents, but I still have a place to live. Everyday I am blessed with the wonderful presence of my nephew.
I am also thankful for two couples. My great grandparents. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the love these couples had. I went to the funeral of my great grandma Hebdon. Her love for family is wonderful to hear about.
Most of us tend to forget where we came from. Most of us don't even know who our ancestors are. Some don't even care. Knowing where we came from can help shape us. We can learn to be better people.
So as you gather with loved ones think about the sacrifice that was made for you to be standing here today.
Happy Thanksgiving!
