Thanksgiving Holiday

I had two sisters and my brother here in my house with their spouses and their kids since Wednesday.  Needless to say, I was very busy with doing dishes all day long, cooking and cleaning all day long, and did not get anything else done.  I was very nice spending time with my family for the holiday and we had a family devotional about what family is all about, according to the bible.  We also went around the room to each person and had to say what we were thankful for.  Even the kids were involved.  It was awesome!  I think we just developed our family tradition and demonstrated to our children what is really important in life, and it sure is family instead of the material objects.  Through the sharing of all of our life happenings, we definitely could see how God has worked in our daily lives and that he is with our families everyday.  We realized he has given us each other for support through life.  Amazing!
