Spaghetti for Thanksgiving?

Instead of our annual Thanksgiving dinner at my house topped with a juicy turkey, buttery mash potatoes, a sweet pumpkin pie, and warm, fluffy biscuits, (I think I gained 5 pounds just writing this last sentence) were headed off to the state of Utah. Just because. Which means I have to pack. Which I hate because it always reminds me that I! Have! Nothing! To! Wear!

My family and I wanted to do something different, and what's more different than staying two days in Utah's Zion National Park eating spaghetti for Thanksgiving in a cabin? Yes. I said Spaghetti. It's cheap and easy to make AND we really don't want to take a stuffed turkey with us on our 8 hour drive. My family just rolls like that, and they're down for pretty much anything. That's why I love them. And, really, weather we gather around the table for a spaghetti dinner or a bowl of cereal, or if all we had to eat was  a pack of breath mints, I don't care. At least our breath's won't smell. As some of you guys read yesterday's blog, I have reasons to be thankful. I believe we ALL have reasons to be thankful. To fall on our knees in the presence of the Almighty in praise and worship for His provision. My life, in particular, screams blessings. My family, my amazing friendships, the clothes on my back that I really do have, the food in the fridge, my bed, the roof over my head, I am healthy, I have both arms and legs, I'm no longer going to hell when I die. I have everything the Lord has promised to provide me, because He's good. Because He's faithful.

So weather your celebrating with a fat turkey, or rollin Italian and eating Spaghetti like me and my family, remember that ti's the season to be thankful. To hold a sincere sense of gratitude for the things our life holds, and not complain for the things we don't have. God is enough.

"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ" 1 Thessalonians 5:18
