Adventures aboard the Morningstar: Happy Thanksgiving! Be Blessed!

We all have so many things to be thankful for so lets take a few minutes to stop and give thanks to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He blesses all of us with His lovingkindness each day and His mercies that are new every monring.

This is a poem my sister Maisie wrote when she was in grammer school. I always loved it!

Here comes the turkery nice and brown

mother puts it on the tray

but before the turkey's passed around

we bow our heards and pray

The cranberry sauce is red and round

the stuffing looks good too

I'll have some turkery nice and brown

and here is some for you!

Thank you Maisie for that special memory that stays with me every Thanksgiving. You are a wonderful sister. I love all of my sisters very much and I am so thankful I got to spend a week with all of them in August. I am thankful for all of my family and friends that become dear to me with each passing day. I am thankful to the Lord for healing my son Tom and for His continuing healing presence in their lives. I am so blessed to be living close to my son Rick, Vande and my grandsons who watch out for us and have drawn closer to Jesus and His amazing love in a deeper way this year.
I am blessed to have had my son Brian, Julie and Adam visit us this past year for Easter. Adam finally got a chance to meet his cousins. I am thankful that our house in NY finally sold so Rich and I could prepare to travel aboard the Morningstar. We hope to be leaving the dock in the new few weeks and travel south on the intercoastal towards the Florida Keys. I am thankful that our dear friends Sue and Shelby were able to visit us this past winter. I am thankful to have also received a visit from my cousin Joe and Patty. Both of their visits to the Morningstar were special. I could go on an on and on because these are only a small fraction of the many blessings in my life.

The greatest blessing in my life is spending my golden years with the man I love and have loved for almost 50 years. The greastest gift God has given me except for His precious son Jesus. We know that our Lord Jesus is guiding our lives and providing for our every need. His unconditional love and presence in our lives brings joy and meaning to our lives. We know that our lives our truly in His hands. Be Blessed this Thanksgiving and please take a few minutes to look up and give thanks to the Lord for His amazing love!
