Thankful Post...

Today I'm thankful for my extended family.

Tonight was a hard night as it was the first Thanksgiving we've celebrated without my aunt Chonnie attending because of her illness.

But I was reminded in the midst of all of the sadness, that God has given us so many good memories and good times together...and I think He does that to ease our pain.

And God is at work through all of this...bringing family closer together, giving us one another to hold each other up, showing us what really matters in life...

So today I'm thankful for the memories and times I share with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins.

I'm thankful for love that goes beyond having to see each other, but is just there...always, unconditionally.

Afterall, isn't that what family is all about?!
