Well, it is the day after Thanksgiving and I had a very unusual day yesterday. No family. No food cooked. Just my wife and I home alone,
Now that sounds pretty sad, but good things happened. My wife’s sister brought the turkey meal with all the fixings plus two desserts. That was the day before Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving. My son and his family brought another full turkey meal and two desserts.
We ate very well for being alone.
We were alone, because we are on lock down, thanks to the virus. I have several health issues that the virus would love to attack.
Later in the day our whole family did connect by Zoom. It certainly wasn’t the same as hugging or sitting together in one room, but we made it fun, and I was really refreshed because of it.

Too many homes are going through what we are here. Isolated parents, husbands, wives, children, etc.
I forced myself to sit down this morning and come up with the things I am thankful for. It was hard at first, because I wasn’t in a cherry mood.
Here are some from my list:
- I am thankful we have Thanksgiving. Many countries don’t have it.
- I am thankful for my family. ALL OF THEM!
- I am thankful that God has given me another day.
- I am thankful I am somewhat able to do pretty much anything.
- I am thankful that I made it through several major surgeries.
- I am thankful for my friends. They are a pillar of my strength.
- I am thankful that Jesus paid the ultimate price for me so I can have eternal life.
- I am thankful that many storms may come, but they end.
- I am thankful that I live in a country that is free.
- I am thankful that God gave me the skills to write,
I could go on. This also isn’t necessarily my top ten list.
After I wrote many things I am thankful for, my outlook on life totally changed. I am one very blessed man.
Very strongly suggest you make your list, and don’t stop at ten. Then keep it somewhere that you can look at it from time to time.
