Next Week is Thanksgiving😱...

Can't believe next week is Thanksgiving😱.  It some ways it seems this year has gone by fast and in others it seems like a daze.  In two years time we lost my husband's parents and life is much different now.  We go through bouts of missing them like crazy.  Staying busy with our work and Tim has helped a great deal in the grieving process.  

I've been thinking about all I'm thankful for this year, and pretty much every year, and it's my family and friends.  God has blessed my life so much and I'm forever grateful for all the blessings He's showered on me through the years.  I don't know how folks go through life without God being the center of their universe.  He's everything to me.  I don't know how we, as a family, would have gotten through Scot's parents passing without God.  Having God in your life makes all the difference.  

So often at this time of year everyone is sharing things they are thankful for and it's usually a crazy long list of material stuff.  Mine is always simple, my family and my friends mean the world to me and I'm thankful for every ounce of the time that I get with each and every one of them until  I get "sucked off" to go be with Jesus in heaven.  

You'd have to watch the show Ghosts to understand the term "sucked off".  It's a comedy but when the ghosts do an unselfish deed they get "sucked off".  As a Christian I know that is not how you get to heaven because you have to have asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior but I've always envisioned when it's your time to go that the sucking off portion is what happens when you go to heaven.  On the show you can get "sucked off" to heaven or pulled down to hell.  They make the part about how you get to heaven or hell as close to what most imagine it to be as possible and they make it seem more real.  Funny show with some twists to it that seem more real.  That's your tv show review for today...LOL!!   It was a long way to explain the "sucked off" comment, I know.  But at least you were entertained by it.  

Anyways, I hope and pray that you hold your loved ones a little tighter this year and that you let your friends know just how much they mean to you.  Life is short and you want to live it with no regrets having cherished every moment with those you love.  God Bless!
