Besides having the typical 7,000 calorie meal for our Thanksgiving dinner we also had an amazingly blessed day! There were 13 of us (counting the babies) and then two dogs around the table in our very small dining room. We were crowded but it didn't keep us from the turkey, ham, mashed potates, cranberry salad, corn casserole, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, heath bar pie and bundt cake! All day long. We shared stories of the year, the guys went trap shooting, and the gals went to see the movie "Enchanted" (the guys would have hated it!) But for me the best part was still the sharing of the "Question Game". The time when we share the answers to questions as varied as "What's your favorite color" to "Your favorite bible verse". This year we added in shared prayer requests because we firmly believe that God is at work--in us and through us and He has a plan to use us. When we come together again next year we'll have to list all the answers that God has poured out over the year in ways that are totally unexpected! For all that I am unbelievably thankful.
