Our Thanksgiving 2022

Story of our life, right?

Tuesday, I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry.

Wednesday, I prepped a lot of my food.

Made Gooey Butter Cake - a dessert I have been wanting to try out.

Making chicken noodle gravy.

Potatoes for Friday's meal.

Eric getting his turkey ready for the smoker.

Flowers still blooming on Thanksgiving Day.

Attack cat. She is so sassy!

Thanksgiving morning 2022 was chilly, wet, and foggy.

Right-Christy, Danny, Matt, and Eric

I didn't get a photo of Jack-11 and the Cisneros boys before they left the table.

Eric and I - 24 Thanksgivings together this year.

The girls stayed later after dinner and a few games. I relaxed after a few busy days and a busy morning. The two kitties hung out with me.

I also got to FaceTime with my oldest who didn't get to come home from college in Florida. Sometimes things can't always be "perfect" but it is about making the best of what you have.

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
