Happy Thanksgiving! There was a moment when I wasn't sure about that. After deciding that this year I was going to focus on Thanksgiving and all of the blessings God has given me, I was afraid that Thanksgiving Day was going to be a tough one. With my husband having health issues, it was looking more and more like I was going to have to choose between spending the holiday with my husband or with the rest of my family because he wouldn't be up to traveling. I was getting pretty bummed about it. And then I had an idea. I sent my sister a message and asked her if she could come here. She was fine with it and she called my mom, who was hosting the meal. My mom and dad got here yesterday afternoon with all of the meal preparations, including the centerpiece! I am very blessed that I can now spend more time with my parents and can celebrate the holiday with everyone, including my husband!
Another bonus is that Wednesday evening was an engagement party for my cousin's daughter, who I was a nanny for. My parents were not planing to go but since they were in town, they were able to go and see family, including my mom's brother from New York, who had not been well recently.
I had that moment of sadness, but God had a plan. And, as it turned out, it's even better than the original plan! My mom had gotten her baking done a day early. And, I should know by now to trust God and everything will be ok. That's what I'm holding onto during this holiday and while waiting to find out about my husband's health issues. His plan is better than ours! And, for that I'm very thankful!
