When I'm Worried and I Can't Sleep, I Count My Blessings Instead of Sheep...

Neither sheep nor blessings are hard to come by here...nor was sleep last night after our feast of turkey and love.

Last night we shared Thanksgiving with the Collins family, whom we have just about decided to adopt as our very own. We had a lovely night with lots of good food; then we rounded out the evening with some good old fashioned Christmas Karaoke...just like mom used to make!

Today we are digging ourselves out of a pile of dirty dishes and pots and pans, and we now remember why we only do a Thanksgiving-style meal once a year... but boy, was it good... and worth all of the post meal clean-up.

Thank you, God for pumpkin pies,

For excited kids with twinkling eyes,

For husbands who can cook and clean.

Thank you, God, for everything!

Amen.
