A Wonderful Day

Yummy smells coming from the kitchen (after one major mishap early this morning - which didn't smell so great), my family all mellow and just hanging out, a beautiful sunny day outside, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade earlier this morning, football on this afternoon...

As I busy myself in the kitchen, instead of being stressed over the preparations, timing of the turkey and all the "other little things" I used to stew over...I'm relaxed and I'm happy. If a dish doesn't taste perfect, I'm okay. If the turkey takes a little longer, I'm okay. If my table setting isn't perfect, I'm okay.

I'm surrounded by love and laughter...by history and memories....by wrapped up in the ever faithful presence, grace and love of my Savior.

It's a wonderful day, and I am thankful.
