giving thanks

As we go into this time of year my heart is so full of gratitude.  I am in a beautiful home that my husband and I (along with many others :) built for our family.   Our hope was to fill it with love and to make it a home.  I look forward to the holidays and all the wonderful memories we will make here.  Our home will be filled with love, happiness and peace.  We will be surrounded by the ones we love.  My only wish is that all of us could be together (you know who you are :)  The ones who will not be here will be on my heart.  You will be missed.  Lord, I want to thank you for contentment this Thanksgiving.  My life is full of great things and I want to cherish each and every one.  I love my family and pray I can show them how much they mean to me.  Let me be a blessing to others, this will be my greatest gift this season.  I love you Lord.

Your house is so beautiful and so warm! I love the time time we spent in it, when you guys have us over. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thankful for our friendship.
Love,

You do have a home full of things to be thankful for. I wish so, so badly that we could be there this year for Thanksgiving. Believe me, I have struggled with this. It is so hard to be away, but you all will be in my heart as well. God must have a purpose for this. I miss you all lots and am counting down the days til Christmas when we can be together. Have fun and enjoy your time with everyone (lucky Powell family). :)
