Hello and welcome to Friday's Fave Five. Last weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving and while it was wonderful to have an official holiday to remind us to be thankful, I love that this group intentionally makes it a part of their everyday. While a thanksgiving holiday can give us wonderful feelings in the moment that we can say a quick thank you for, intentional daily gratitude is a lifestyle, a way to navigate life, our compass when there are difficult times. Please join us a we develop and work to maintain this attitude of consistent gratitude for the good things in our lives.
~ family gathered ~ I ususally host Thanksgiving and this year my two kids from Calgary came and my sister's family. Unfortunately my oldest had to work. But it was really nice to have those who could come gathered together over a delicious meal. Unfortunately, I did not take one single solitary picture.
~ turkey dinner ~ We love turkey dinner at our house and it is a great blessing that, once again, we were able to have it. This year Hubby decided he wanted to try an organic, free range, ethically raised turkey that a meat shop, who are his clients, were getting in for Thanksgiving. Oh my goodness, was it ever good. We added homemade cranberry sauce, whipped potatoes, spaghetti squash, carrots/parsnips, stuffing and my gravy. I make a delicious gravy if I do say so myself. My sister bought a cake and a pumpkin pie to round it all off.
~ ladies small group ~ I finally was able to attend my ladies group this week after missing out since they started up again after summer break. It's just been so busy with Operation Christmas Child also gearing up at the same time. It was nice to be back and studying God's Word together with my group. It's nice to have a break but so good to be back at it.
~ back to nice weather ~ after 2 days of snow over the Thanksgiving weekend I'm happy to report it has all melted and we are back to some gorgeous sunny fall weather again!
~ knee feeling good ~ I was a bit worried about how my knee would feel after two days of being on my feet cooking. The last thing I wanted was to push it into another flare up. But it made it through and was feeling pretty good and I am very thankful for all help throughout that was given to me. I made sure to wear my brace and good runners and made myself take breaks. It all worked toward a no pain weekend.
What were you're blessings you were grateful for this past week?
