When All You Have To Be Thankful For Is Family

Book 92 - Special Edition Post

Psalms 107:22 - 22. And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of Thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.




Its Thanksgiving today. So many people celebrate this day like no other celebration in the world. Lots of food and family gather around different tables, observing the food that was given unto there from GOD and his son JESUS. We all give thanks for the abundance of each morsel cooked and thank GOD and his son JESUS for our lives, health and strength. We all sit down and eat.

For me...thanks not the real meaning of Thanksgiving. For me... Thanksgiving is about my immediate family circle. I give thanks that I have my immediate circle today. No one in my extended family, or in the equation of extended family members celebrate with my immediate family circle...ever. But you know what, "My immediate family members always have each other."

I find that a true blessing, no matter how I present it here today as I write this post. GOD and his son JESUS has bought my immediate family and I a very...very long way from desperate measures of being completely ignored in every event we have (or just family time) and the narcissistic hearts of my extended family. Even when I thought we were coming together as one 'family unit' I still have doubts if we'll ever come together again. My immediate family and I still live with the fact that we still don't get invited anywhere for family get together, or just have family time by our extended family members.

But you know what, "I've been dealing with a lot of things since my FATHER'S death and I'm totally thankful that I have my small immediate family circle for Thanksgiving." That's truly a blessing to have people who always do things together and have fun at the same time doing the things my immediate family and I love to do. Simply...that's all I need for Thanksgiving to celebrate. I wouldn't take it back for nothing in the whole world. Who's the say if having a group of people you love the most (immediate family) is enough to celebrate to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday?

I say that my immediate family circle is more than enough to celebrate Thanksgiving in it's abundance and then some. I'm very proud of that and I'm truly thankful to have my immediate family circle to gather around one huge table and celebrate what many families around the world celebrate each year, for hundreds of years. Now that...I would give up for nothing in the whole world. Love around table, we take into our hearts forever and ever. I thank GOD and his son JESUS for my immediate family circle and the food we are about to eat around and about our beautiful table this year.
