At this moment I am alone in my home. It is 9:30am, my mom and boys left for breakfast out and I remained home to continue preparing a meal for 21 hungry mouths later today. The second onion I diced was a doosy and caused a few tears so I decided to step away from the kitchen to write down a few of my thoughts.
Today is the 11 month point since my husband's passing, it's Thanksgiving and son #1's 30th birthday. In the midst of unspeakable pain there is so much to be thankful for. A new friend and co-widow asked me to share 10 things I am thankful for which she has shared on her blog here.
Sadness is a portion of my emotions today, yet there is Joy which pulses from my inner most being. The Joy that only God can create in a heart that has been torn and depleted. Today, I am grateful for Joy, The Joy of The Lord, It truly IS my strength Today!!!
A Blessed Thanksgiving to You All!!!!
I am thankful for you! Love you bunches!

ReplyDeleteHolidays are hard. Hard for everyone, especially those having to face them after the loss of a loved one. I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with lots of good food, family and friends and sweet memories of the day and those of past years too.
