Today is our Chili cookoff fund raiser for Toys 4 Tots at work. It is a Big To-do! Hundreds of our employees contribute by cooking their "special" Chili, bringing in desserts, and all the fixin's for a wonderful meal. Then, they turn around and donate money to eat. Each building competes against the other trying to raise the most money. The Marines honor us by coming out in a large group to taste and vote on the best. We have such fun helping our community. Thank you Jesus for blessing us so we may bless others!
Last week I was very sick - but I thank God that I had plenty of vacation time so I could take the whole week off and get rested, and on my way to being well again. Thank you Jesus!!
Last Tuesday was my Pastors memorial service. It was sad, but we celebrated the life he lived! Made me really think about how I'm living, and what I want my (-)dash to stand for. Thank you Jesus for sending Pastor Brogdon into my life.
Last weekend my daughters and I drove to Texas to surprise my sister. My sister - in-law and niece from Pennsylvania were there too! It has been over 10 years since my girls have seen their cousin Stacy, and 6 years since they have seen my sister and her family. We had a GRAND time - I got to meet my newest grand niece Melody and grand nephew Ike - they are so precious...we didn't want to put them down. We had an early all girl (and baby) Thanksgiving dinner at Texas Road House - sure beat all the cooking, steak is way better than turkey, and no mess to clean up!! Thank you Jesus for setting up the perfect weekend reunion! Stacy has healed so incredibly from her motorcycle accident in June. She walks with no limp. Thank you Jesus and all my blogging friends who prayed for her!
I am Thankful, and will lift up my voice in humble gratitude to the LORD, for all good things come from Him, and him alone!

So good to hear from you dear!
Sounds like you have been busy. So sorry to hear about your pastor.
So glad you are feeling better!

Funny...when I go visit my son who lives in New England now, he always wants to go to the Texas Roadhouse there...so funny, says it makes him feel more like home with his Mom and bbq!
