We had our usual turkey with all the trimmings yesterday, having joined the Cone clan (our daughter-in-law’s family nearby). \u00a0When we shared with each other about what we’re thankful for, I was struck by how many mentioned family. \u00a0Makes me say an extra prayer for those without family to celebrate holidays with. \u00a0I sure am thankful for 5 precious grandkids, 4 amazing kids, and all the extended family the Lord has given us! \u00a0We hope your Thanksgiving was just that – a time to be giving thanks!<\/span><\/p>\n
