Thanksgiving....a time to give thanks. But should we do it only during this time of year. I think not but it is a time to reflect on what we are very thankful for. Everyday, Matt and I are thankful for a God that forgives us, loves us, and who sent his son for us. Everyday, we are thankful for two families that have given us a Christian background, who will do anything for the two of us, and who love us. These two families are what made our first Thanksgiving and will continue to make it one of the best holidays.
Our Thanksgiving together started with us actually have a morning to sleep in. (and we are so very thankful for it) We started our day, completing our morning devotional and giving thanks in prayer. Then, I made Matt watch the Macy's Day Parade and made him enjoy every second of it. We then made it to our first stop of the day with family one. We got to spend some time with Matt's great family and eat some wonderful food. Stop two, was at Aunt DeeDee's house, where we snacked on some more food and played games. It was a great time just hanging out with family and enjoying each others company. For this time spent with our families, we are thankful and it is what makes us love this holiday.
The rest of the weekend consisted of us selling Christmas trees and wreaths to many wonderful people. Yes, a tree lot for Christmas, but to tell you the truth, it has been a great adventure for us so far. Seeing people get excited for the Christmas season but also rememember what this time is really all about. And yet again, we are thankful.
