I am incredibly thankful for the amazing group of family and friends I have. We had around 120 people at my mum’s 50th, and put on a surprise concert, and totally messed up some parts, but everyone was really encouraging and impressed, and it was just a totally amazing time of fellowship and celebration!

Awesome, Monique! So glad you pulled off a 120-guest event! That is amazing!

I am incredibly thankful for family! Last year right after thanksgiving my 18 year old brother was in a car accident and actually died on seen, the paramedics got him back him back but if left him in a coma for several months and we were told he would never be more than a vegetable. BUT GOD! Fast forward to this year and he is walking, talking and almost back to his normal self. One moment in time can change your life forever, so I’m thankful for my family because this thanksgiving could’ve been a whole lot different.

Lisa, it seems like some years are tougher to get through than others. I often wonder how those who don’t believe in God and Jesus get through the hard times in their lives. I know I couldn’t!

I am thankful for my friend Brenda. I am the church librarian and needed help rearranging about 1,000 DVDs and some books. On Friday she came and worked for several hours until we finished the job. Then on Sunday after church, she and her husband came by and changed out the light bulb in my garage door opener. A lady in our Sunday School class had recently fallen and broken her hip. Brenda didn’t want me to risk a fall.

That’s what I call a friend, Sue! Happy Thanksgiving!
