He just recently got engaged and so it was all of Greg's family(parents, other brother & his wife, and the fiance of Doug, and her folks and brother). So we had 4 new people that we were sharing THanksgiving with for the first time and I was trying to remember what it felt like for me the first Thanksgiving that I went out with Greg to the farm to meet everyone extended and immediate and how they made me feel....it was then I realized that instead of stressing about what the day "could" be (with lots of people in a rental house & thinking about how Id rather be with my own family), I realized I could make it a GREAT Thanksgiving by showing Jess(Doug's fiance) and her family the same generousity and kindness that everyone had shown me 3yrs ago...Monica, I am so blessed to have married into a wonderful family who loves each other and are funny and VALUE quality time with each other. It really hit me how blessed I truly am. I have in-laws who love me, two brother-in-laws that incorporate me, and now TWO sister-in-laws who I get along with and laugh with and will share life with. Anyhow, so simple and (long) story, but for me it was quite the reveleation. God did a work in my heart over this past week. <BR/><BR/>So, I know you asked how we give thanks, but I had to share what I was thankful for because it was such a great revelation for me to see!<BR/>Hope yours went well.
