Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is and has always been my favorite holiday. It's a time for family; a time to spend with the people we love most. What an incredible & delicious bonus that this day is spent feasting on a spread of fried turkey, baked turkey, ham, dressing, gravy, macaroni & cheese, collard greens, green bean casserole, candied yams, potato salad, deviled eggs, chicken pastry, sweet potato pie, banana pudding, german chocolate cake, and carrot cake (Yep, that's what we had LOL). As tasty as all that was, its the love & laughter that means the most.

There are so many things I am thankful for:
** life, health & strength
** having a relationship with God because if I didn't know the Lord, I'm not sure where I would be...
** my son Jayden who is very happy, healthy, & turns 4 years old next week :)
** Jesus because he thinks I'm "to die for"
** My Heavenly Father who gives me unconditional love
** brand new mercies every day
** my family who despite whatever issues we may have make me happy to be a Morgan & proud to have some of Cora Mae's blood running through my veins
** employment in a troubled economy -- roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, cars to drive
** "The 77 Wonders" & all of my Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
** Body of Christ Church family
** true friends... you know who you are..
** the gifts that God has given me; the direction & instructions that He has given me to use those gifts
** discernment, deliverance, & forgiveness
** peace... Ain't nothing like it. (Philippians 4:7)
** love (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
** poetry, REAL music, art, laughter, running barefoot in the country on a hot summer day, fried green tomatoes, Grandma's wisdom, priceless memories... all the simple & beautiful things in life

I could go on and on writing about the countless things & ways for which I am thankful. If I had 10,000 tongues it still wouldn't be enough to express the sincere gratitude and thanks that I hold in my heart. Let us all make sure that we do not wait until Thanksgiving to show our thanks ;)

"For every mountain YOU brought me over, for every trial YOU have seen me through, for every blessing -- hallelujah... for this Lord, I give YOU praise."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
