First of all, I just have to say how beautiful the graphic above is for this week's Blogger Friend School.
Part A
The Lord has been so good to me and my family. We've gone through many trials in the last few years. Yet, through it all, God has been faithful. He continues to be faithful to us. He has continued to provide for us. He has shown Himself to me as the Great Provider. His Word tells me, "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19, NASB)
Something else that I truly feel is a great blessing is that I have been able to find a more economical approach to homeschool that is a really good, quality education. Homeschool is a priority for our family. Therefore, it's such a blessing when you can provide an excellent education for your children that's not outrageously expensive!
Part B
As far as traditions go, many times our family will travel to my parent's house to celebrate Thanksgiving. We weren't able to do that last year because of my husband's work. And we won't be traveling to my parent's house this year either. This year, we will be going to my hubby's sister's house where his family will come together to eat.
In my hubby's family, family members provide different dishes to make up the entire meal. His immediate family all lives in the area. When we are at my parent's house, my sister's family as well as my family have to travel to get there. Therefore, we all work on the meal together at my parent's house. We typically have some sort of game that gets played amongst the adults - usually some sort of card game. Generally, when we all get together, euchre (spelling????) is on the agenda. I have to say, I'm going to miss the time with my family. My family likes getting together for the holidays and it is an enjoyable time for us.
In both family meals, we generally have similar items:
turkey
dressing
mashed potatoes
some sort of veggie (green beans or green bean casserole usually)
fruit salad
sweet potato casserole
bread of some sort
some sort of dessert(s)
Part C
"It is good to give thanks to the LORD
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,
With resounding music upon the lyre.
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands."
Psalm 92:1-4, NASB
