HEY!!! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!!!!!! Most of you will be reading this the 26th, 27, or 28.
Sooooooo....As tradition(starting now 4 a couple of years.......maybe only this year), here is a story I wrote a LONGGGGGGGG time ago.Enjoy...or not!
This story is weird. Here goes.
Tom the Turkey.
Tom lived on a farm. Tom hid two days before Thanksgiving. Tom was a turkey.
Tom, the turkey, hid for two days before Thanksgiving, on the farm where he lived. Tom knew that Thanksgiving was not a good day for turkeys. Tom knew that he could be eaten on Thanksgiving Day. He got an idea. Tom hid in a hay stack that was going to be put up in the hay loft. He sat down right in the middle of it. When Farmer Brown put the hay stack up in the loft, he didn't even know Tom was in there! Tom stayed put for two days. When Thanksgiving dinner was over, Tom jumped down into a hay stack. He waddled over to Farmer Brown's house and looked in the window. He was very happy to see the farmer had eaten a pig for dinner!
We are celebrating this Thanksgiving with grateful hearts for God's gift of salvation, matchless grace, and provision to us way beyond our needs.
Thanking our Lord
for
Family,
Friends,
Faith,
Forgiveness,
and
Freedom.
Truly, we are richly blessed.
When I saw the theme for this week's I <3 Faces challenge,: “Sun Flare”, this picture just popped into my head! :) I love the Sun Flare coming down on her. Isn't Hannah such a pretty girly? I sure love that Dahling!

For the thanksgiving theme, here is a little scene I built representing the thing we are most thankful for.
Now, I've always been a fan of 3D pictures and have tried to make some of my own in the past, but I was not really satisfied with my results. The other day, I saw "A Christmas Carol" in 3D and that inspired a need to try again. So, if you have your red/cyan 3D glasses at hand, take a look at this.
Or, if you have yellow/blue 3D glasses...

BTW: If these pictures are too dark to see clearly, then tell me and I'll see if I can't lighten them up a bit.
This past week has been extremely hard for me. I lost my Great Grandpa, who I was very very close to. I can honestly say that he was THE best grandpa I've ever had. I am so thankful for the last 5 years of being able to grow closer to him, of course, it wasn't as long as I wanted, but I am very glad I had them. It was wonderful! It was wonderful to grow as close to him as I did.
Over the past 5 years, he really opened up to me about his WWII experiences which he hadn't shared them at all before. When I presented him the Armed Service album I made for him at his 65th anniversary, he was moved to tears. I knew that all the efforts and the sleepless night I spent on it was so worth it! Getting to know him was truly a blessing to me. I pray it was to him also. Since I did that for him and grew closer to him through it, I have a very important place in my heart for the armed service men. When we took him to the cemetery, they gave him a beautiful military salute with Taps and a 21 Gun Salute. I bawled through the whole thing. Knowing that his service was important to him, and that was so very important to me because of him. It was very hard to sit through for me.
Sitting in his funeral service remembering all the times we had together, the tears just flowed. We would color when I was younger and as I grew up, we would sit on his front porch and play cards. He taught me to play rummy, war, slap jack, and more. One of the last times he played cards he was 87 and got down on the floor with the Littles to play go fish with them. It wasn't easy for him to crawl on the floor but he showed his love to his family by doing it. He truly was a family man. That was all he was worried about: his family. He made it known that his family was all that was important to him.
I truly miss him. I miss his hugs. I miss his smile. I miss his playing cards. I now found myself crying when I pray because he is no longer on my list and it reminds me he is gone. I just miss him! But he lived a full and meaningful life. A life devoted to his family. I praise God that Grandpa knew our Savior and that I have the hope to once again see him on Resurrection Day. It hurts and its hard to have to wait for that day, but I know that the day is drawing close. OH, what a glorious day that will be!
Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death forever. Adonai ELOHIM will wipe away the tears from every face, and he will remove from all the earth the disgrace his people suffer. For ADONAI has spoken.
Revelation 21Love you, Grandpa!
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will no longer be any death; and there will no longer be any mourning, crying or pain; because the old order has passed away."
Please continue to pray for us and also my Great Grandma who is by herself now, and also for my Uncle Keith. It's been hard for them too.
