Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I have a feeling tomorrow will be crazy busy....
so I thought I would write this now, while I still have some energy.

I've done lots of baking while I've been here in the SC.
Homemade crescent rolls, turkey cake pops, and apple spice cupcakes have all been completed.
And it's been lovely spending some time with this precious family.
Absolutely lovely.
God has greatly blessed me with people to spend this holiday with.
Even though I greatly long to be home with my family in NM,
I know that He's planned it for me to be here.

Thanksgiving day is tomorrow.
And I am so thankful for so many things:
God and His mercy, grace, love, and sovereignty in my life.
my family (parents, sister, grandparents, etc.).
my friends (old and new).
my school.
my car.
where I live.
books.
laughter.
joy.
sorrow.
pain.
happiness.
grace.
forgiveness.
learning.
knowledge.
peace.
patience.
and so many other wonderful things.

God has greatly blessed my life.
Even though there has been pain and hardship,
I wouldn't have it any other way.
He's drawn me closer to Himself.
And I am thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Blessings.
