I love this time of year, not too cold not to hot; just right.

It’s just before Thanksgiving, Paula my wife has already started cooking treats and snacks. On Thanksgiving day, all of our kids, grand kids and niece’s and nephews will be here. A houseful of relatives.

We will eat and get to full and then watch the children as they play.

I will set and listen as our girls talk about old times and then argue about some trivial point.

Then we we go back and eat some more and play games until it starts to get dark and parts of our family leaves. Since none of them are avid hunter, they stay until dark.

Then the following Saturday, we put up the Christmas tree. The two girls living at home, help my wife. It’s a joy to watch them put up the lights and ornaments

It’s so festive here, I love it. They say people who have been depressed, find it more depressing this time of year but, not me.

I love the season, the feeling in the air and all the activities.

The best is having our family together, I think it’s precious.

There is one thing I don’t like, since the stroke of 2005; I haven’t been able to eat my favorite food, roasted pecans.

Lord , during this time my heart goes out to those in foreign lands. Those who serve our country. Men and women who can’t be home. Bless each and everyone. Also here at home, those who are without a home, a family or a warm meal. Bless them all in Jesus name.

Amen!!!
