Thank you for that. Love how you've written this. You don't really know how thankful you are (or how incredibly grateful for all the good) until you are given the opportunity to walk through the bad. Happy Thanksgiving.

NOW it is a battle at times , but I pray to let it go & move on. Praying you can say "No" with kindness and move on. As for your SIL- what does she answer when asked direct family medical history?<br />Blessings, Sweet Friend!Loraluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428559311387283317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-63378172286349081222015-11-23T13:55:19.953-06:002015-11-23T13:55:19.953-06:00Oh oh....I am afraid sweet friend, I fall in the l...Oh oh....I am afraid sweet friend, I fall in the latter part....I am having a hard time with the ugly part...this happened on Saturday:<br /><br />"Linda, we will be over on Friday to have your leftovers. AND you will take me Black Friday shopping." (from my mother in law---who is unable to tell us why their not coming for Thanksgiving--which we know, only she thinks we don't--they are going to my hubby's sister---which we never ever will be invited due to the fact we are not 'immediate family'--her/sil words, not mine)<br /><br />Oh oh...there goes that issue again...I am just having a hard time--presumptions/assumptions of hosting another event, and family issues...no, I am not taking her Black Friday shopping, you would have to shoot me first...as for leftovers...even my husband is upset over that presumption. Sorry...pretty angry, aren't I?<br /><br />I hear you...and you are one of several friends who have posted similar things. To say the good Lord is NOT working on me, would be a lie...He is...all on His time, not mine.

We'll get there though, won't we? Sometimes I'm awfully late to the party, but I come with firm intentions because I've wrestled mightily with getting to thanks from the heat of challenge. You know, maybe that's ok! It might make us more durable in the future.<br /><br />Happiest of Thanksgivings my friend, and I pray your Christmas Season will be an inspiration, and a place of joy and peace. Can't wait to pick up again in 2016 right here :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-81433286885131880662015-11-23T11:33:03.970-06:002015-11-23T11:33:03.970-06:00Yes-Sparky--ALL things will be used for His Good P...Yes-Sparky--ALL things will be used for His Good Purpose!<br />It is a beautiful Fall day here--<br />Feeling Blessed!<br />Blessings to You!luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520683067915486215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-69140121598448282692015-11-23T11:32:05.001-06:002015-11-23T11:32:05.001-06:00It probably would be strange to celebrate Thanksgi...It probably would be strange to celebrate Thanksgiving over there, since the Pilgrims were thankful for a new life away from England.<br /><br />I am thankful for our friendship, Victor!<br /><br />Bless You, Friend!luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520683067915486215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-44358725463131802702015-11-23T10:38:48.865-06:002015-11-23T10:38:48.865-06:00There's a lot to be thankful for, even 'th...There's a lot to be thankful for, even 'the bad stuff' leads to something good when we believe in Jesus.

There were many. Too many to count. But amongst them all was this Blog and YOU. Your writings here are very thought-provoking, inspirational and educational to me. Thank you.<br /><br />God bless you.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
