Happy Thanksgiving 2008

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at home with my parents. Falyn was home from college for the first time in three months, and it was great to see her and have her home for the week. Scott was on call, luckily he worked late morning, and made it home in time to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner! We have so many blessings and so many things to be thankful for...

HOW TO OBSERVE THANKSGIVING

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
