Thanksgiving Reflections

Here's the blog you have been waiting for!! My Thanksgiving day blog!! First, let me preface this by saying my family, who I love dearly, puts the "Dys" in Dysfunctional and we lived up to that this Thanksgiving. I realized that when we sat down for dinner and someone began blasting Led-Zepplin and banging on what seemed like a pillar in the basement that was holding up the floor which we were sitting on, but I can testify we didn't fall through. And I was thankful for that.

I realized something though in those moments. I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world. We are who we are, with all our warts and all. Family is family, regardless how we act. We are family forever. We only get one family. I would not mind having that same thing happen again, and again, because if you can't love your family who you can see, then how can you love a God, who you cannot see. I believe that and live that out and thank God for my family.
