I have been thinking lately about this upcoming Thanksgiving that we will be spending at my oldest brothers house. I admit that I am about as excited for this as I get for Christmas sometimes. I am looking forward to spending time with my family and getting to meet my new niece and nephew. My family doesn't get together that much because of where everyone lives, so all of us coming together this year is a big deal. (Plus mom is celebrating a big birthday this year... I won't disclose the year for her sake.)
Yet in the midst of the excitement, there is a little sadness that is lingering. Each morning I wake up is another day closer to following the Lord's will and moving out of this country. The sadness is not the following the Lord's will, but the saying good-bye to the ones we love so much. I am thankful for this year and the opportunity to spend time with my family but I know that there will be fewer and farther between chances for us all to be together again.
At any rate, I hope that this is the best Thanksgiving yet and that the gluttony is overlooked. (I don't plan on going hungry!)
