Who's Coming to Dinner?!

The holidays are so full of tradition! Each of our families has different things that we enjoy.  Some families will have ham some will have turkey. My daughter Stephanie looks forward to the pumpkin pie. My husband looks forward to having real mashed potatoes instead of instant. My dad likes to have oysters in the stuffing. I have a nephew that is crazy about sweet potatoes with marshmallows. I like all of the food but I especially like the beginning of the music and decorations that accompany the entire holiday season.

You may be having family in, or you may be going to someone else’s house for your Thanksgiving tradition. But either way, we will all be visiting with people that we don’t get to see all the time.

Family is such a wonderful gift from God. Enjoy your family! Thanks God for them! Don’t major on your diversity. Rather, remember that your family is what helped to mold you to be the adult that you are today. Remember that each person is special to God, and that each person has some distinctive trait that defines them.

 You’ll have few friends that will stick by you to the end of your years. But your family will always be there. Cultivate the love and friendship that accompanies the knowledge that anyone can be your friend, but not just anyone can be called family.
