Early Thanksgiving

Turning the calendar from October to November immediately turns my thoughts to the Thanksgiving Holiday and the great time I anticipate with my family.  It also is a time that we set aside to offer a special thanks to our heavenly father for the many blessings he has provided for us throughout the year.  The Lord has blessed is greatly this year and in particular has kept his hand on our little grandson.  As you may remember from one of my previous posts, It was just little of a year that we got the call that our daughter-in-law had been taken to the hospital in early labor and within a few weeks our grandson was born, weighing just over 2 lbs.  Looking at him now, it's hard to believe that he was born prematurely.   He turned one year old recently and he's the picture of perfect health.  Many of the issues that plague premature children have not come to fruition for our little guy.  in fact people are amazed when we tell them that he was born prematurely.

Lord we thank you for this little boy, the joy he brings into our lives and the health he have given him.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Luke 17:15-18
