Today is Thanksgiving day, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

What am I thankful for? Well I am thankful for my family, wonderful kids, loving husband and all. I am thankful that the Lord has given me a warm house and plenty of food in my belly.

On days like this I don't think so much about what I am thankful for but more about what those I know do not have, or even those who I don't know.

I have a friend, who has become part of my family, who is chronically ill and doesn't have any family to speak of (K.C.). She is in her 50's and she can't really walk due to diabetes which has affected her feet. She has several other illnesses that keep her from being able to lead a normal life. She is living off of government programs because she can not work.

K.C. does have one son who does not always give his mother the attention he should. Right now he is currently not speaking with her and she does not know why. She has been calling for about two months, but he has not returned any of her phone calls.

Because of this issue with her son and others issues she deals with on a daily basis, she is extremely depressed and does not do a whole lot.

Today she is in my prayers because I want her to be happy and I want her to be someone who I can bring into my life and share my family with her. But she does not always want to participate because of her depression. I invited her to Thanksgiving dinner today, but she declined. She said she is not participating in the Holidays this year. I will be taking her some food from dinner today later on, because I don't want her to be alone on Thanksgiving.

I wish there did not have to be people who have to live like this, I know part of the reason is probably due to something they have chosen to do with their life, but I believe that everone should be loved and given the oportunity to have a wonderful life. K.C.'s family is a pretty well off family, but they didn't include her in the families wealth, I am not really sure why, but I don't think it is fair.

My prayer is that the Lord gives me the time and energy to be there for her as much as I can without taking away from my family. I have been raised to have a servants heart from my dear grandmother, I hate to see people suffering. But I am not able to provide all that she needs, due to my family needing me too

Pray with me today that she will have a blessed thanksgiving, along with any others you may know that need a little love this holiday season.

God Bless.
