It was a good Thanksgiving Day, full of connection and family and relaxation.
We ate, enjoyed sangria, sat by the firepit, played cards, took a few photos, had good conversation...and really just focused on each other.
I said grace at our meal, instead of relying on the old standby.
"Lord, we come together wishing to cultivate gratefulness in our hearts. Please open our eyes to see all that we have to be thankful for - help us to express this gratitude daily. Thank you for your amazing power and love in our lives. For the goodness of your mercy. For strengthening us daily. And for this family, which is our greatest blessing. Amen."
I got just a few photos and I will treasure them and the memories of this day, which has led us peacefully into the holiday season.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family. You all look so peaceful and relaxed. I’m glad that the day went very well for all of you.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful prayer! and it seems to me (merely a stranger who enjoys your writing) that its beauty reflects the growth you have experienced in the wake of all the difficult changes to your life.
ReplyDeleteSound like a lovely day and love the pictures of all of you.
