GIVING THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU
AND
WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING
βBut thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.β
ββ1 Corinthiansβ¬ β15:57β¬ β
Plates will likely be filled and running over today as family gathers at our house. We are grateful for the opportunity since we could not do so in 2020. Our list of things to be thankful for would be a mile long and truly it should be. But Paul, in a letter to the Corinthians, expressed thanks of a much higher kind because the victory he mentions is a win over our greatest enemy, death. The eternal significance is clear and can only be won through Jesus. This tops our list!
“You cannot escape time, it will always catch you; so why not surrender and allow yourself to be captured by the moment.”
-Butch Richardson
I (Butch) have a terrible tendency to always be in a hurry. I feel I must rush on to the next thing. I am working on changing this behavior. Among the many negative aspects of being in a big hurry is a failure to pause and be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving Pam & Butch! May your table be overflowing family, food and Thanksgiving today! Enjoy your adorable grands. β₯
Mary, I hope your Thanksgiving was beautiful in every way β₯οΈ
Happy Thanksgiving, Butch and Pam. Butch, good words to reflect upon today. Like you, I tend to always be doing, if not rushing too. It’s hard changing a lifelong behavior, but hopefully we can temper it enough.to let the.moments catch us more. I hope you enjoy those moments immensely today!
Rita, I hope your Thanksgiving in your new home was perfect β₯οΈ
How much better off we would be if the world paused to reflect on the gifts our Savior has given! I too am trying to be more like Mary listening at Jesus’ feet but today, of all days, my inner Martha rushes around the kitchen.
Thanksgiving blessings to all!
Wendy, I want to be more of a Mary and less of a Martha. But we need both!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Butch, and your entire family! God bless you all. ππ€
Karla, I hope your Thanksgiving was the best β₯οΈ
Thank you, Pam. β€οΈ It was. Itβs been a transition~the ebbs and flows of life~not having my sons and their families here. Yet, Iβm so proud of them and thankful for technology. My Dad will just be 80, he is such an overcomer, Pam. 3 cancers, heart failure, and brain surgery for aneurysms. God is so good to us. I give him all the glory! πβ€οΈ
Yes, He is good. Your dad must be a miracleππ»β€οΈππ»
I believe he is β€οΈπ₯°ππ»
Wishing you both a beautiful Thanksgiving! And your wonderful family, too.
Thank you, Jeanie. I hope your day was wonderful!

He is a blessing and thank you Claraβ₯οΈ
I think most of us are guilty of not capturing the moment and reflecting on all we have to be thankful for. Hope you and your family have the best Thanksgiving ever!
