Here we are. We made it to Thanksgiving….2020 style but hey, it counts. We survived. Whether you ordered in and celebrated small, had a large, homemade family feast, or cheered your loves virtually, I hope you were able to enjoy this time together. A time to laugh, go back for a second helping and reflect on everything to be Thankful for this year.
Today is officially the first Sunday of Advent: A Week of Hope. My little family of four read the passage for today’s message as we lit the first candle. The candle of hope. What does that word mean to you? HOPE: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. I feel personally close to this word. This week marks the anniversary of Katie’s first brain surgery. It’s hard to believe it has been a decade ago. When I go back to that time I am so thankful I continued to journal. In the dark, still moments to the bright triumphs of a breakthrough in the form of a smile or a first step. If you are new to my blog or maybe you have only read a few entries, this is a good week to start with and work you way forward.
Happy Thanksgiving
