The Tabernacle Of Thanksgiving

  This month is a pretty big month for our family . Not only is it filled with many birthdays ( Joe's included ) , but many exciting familial milestones  . . . . right next to Thanksgiving . We , as a family , have alot to be thankful for .
   
For many of us , Thanksgiving is the only time we stop and take the time to be thankful for our Daily Blessings . Funny , how it takes a tragedy or illness for us to be thankful everyday .

Unfortunately , it seems that Thanksgiving is a quickie holiday that we gloss over . This holiday is not only sandwiched right between Halloween and Christmas , but overshadowed by them both . A Holiday right smack in the middle of the week where most of us have to return to work the next day . Yes , it feels more like a day off than a time of harvest and thanksgiving .

I am just as quilty as everyone else . I look forward to that solitude . It seems that every year we have less and less family members joining us for Thanksgiving  Dinner . Each of us opting for a day of solitude with our favorite chair in our relaxing clothes watching A Christmas Story .

For some reason , this year is turning out to be different . The family is getting together for  dinner . Thanksgiving has always been the Holiday where we see the " other " family , the in-laws .

So as this holiday approaches I hope everyone one of us remembers what it truly is about . Have a Blessed Week everyone .
