Happy Thanksgiving from the Spear Family

This Thanksgiving is the 18th Thanksgiving that we have celebrated as a family.

I asked my son to help me decide which of the 18 Thanksgiving holidays which was his favorite. His conclusion was that his two favorite holidays were the ones that we, as a family, went somewhere. On those two particular holidays, we broke our routine. We got away from media, away from our normal hideaways in our own home, and away from the normal cares of the world. It seems to me that when we separate ourselves from the normal routine, we can better reflect on our blessings.

Today, even though we are celebrating Thanksgiving at home, I reflect on the Creator’s blessings. I am most thankful for the saving grace that He has extended to me and my family. I am also thankful for the blessings of family that the Lord has blessed me with.
