I know she has to work......but a girl can hope, can't she? Repeat? :) Just thinking out loud.
Here's my list of things I wanted to talk about today but don't have time:
Thanksgiving Psalm 100
Dinner Table
Menu
Turkey Talk
Family
Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart
I'll be blogging some things mentioned above soon. We are driving up to see the newlyweds this weekend! I'm super excited, it's the first time we've seen them since they got married. We'll have a fun weekend and I have lots of packing to do now.
But for now I want to leave a *Thanksgiving Giveaway*!
On Tuesday (November 23) I will randomly select one person from comments left on THIS POST.
All you have to do is comment on "What you are thankful for."
What will you win? Any sign of your choice from my Etsy store!
Blessings!

Oh my goodness Heidi I am thankful for so many things...for a God who loves me so much that he died on the cross for me..for a loving husband, for a wonderful son, for special friends, for our freedom...I have been blessed with so much I love this time of year when we reflect on being thankful. I just need to remember to do it through out the year. I wish you a blessed Thanksgiving with your family.
xoxo

I am a little teary thinking about your daughter showing up unexpectedly last year. I am anxiously awaiting news from my son right now. He has been 8000+ miles away from home and I can't wait to hear from him. I am so very thankful that he is on his way home.
Visiting from BNOTP. Maybe your daughter will surprise you again. I am preparing my heart to survive Thanksgiving without my daughter this year as she is studying in China until Christmas.Thanksgiving is her favorite meal of the year and she is my biggest fan of my cooking!Lord willing, she will be home in a few weeks and we can do a repeat! I pray that you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for all of the blessings that God provides..the best gift of all, the promise of eternal life through Jesus, restored health, my beloved husband, children and grandchildren and the family of friends in my real life and my blogging life...friends like you, dear one!
Wishes for a Blessed thanksgiving for you and whoever shows up ;D

What a beautiful photo of Jessica last Thanksgiving!! Your table is beautiful Heidi and of course I spotted the Give Thanks banner hanging in your doorway.
Since I already have been so blessed by your friendship and have a sign hanging in my house made by your hands, I wish to not be included in your drawing. However; I would still love to share what I'm most thankful for: Most of all, I'm thankful that Jesus is in my heart, and is Lord of my life. I can't imagine life any other way.
God bless you dear friend. Have fun with your family this week!
Holykisses xoxo
I will keep my fingers crossed that your daughter is able to surprise you again THIS year!
Heidi--You read my blog so you know I have much to be grateful for. Even though my family is struggling, I am thankful for a loving husband, a beautiful healthy child, a loving extended family, a job with health benefits, food on my table and a roof over my head.
God is good.

Such a sweet story about your daughter. And thank you for visiting my blog. I am thankful for all the good health my family has had this year.
I'm thankful for the holiday of Thanksgiving that reminds us that having family together is a true gift. It doesn't happen every year now that some are married but THIS year we will all be together and I can't wait!
I am thankful my husband is coming home after a 4 year military absence and will spend Thanksgiving with us in our home!
Heidi, thanks so much for stopping by. We are having a terrible harvest this year but I am so grateful my family are all well and happy. We will have to tighten our belts this next year but I am looking at the positive - I may lose weight!!

I'm thankful for having a family that cares about me and that manages to keep on going even though my younger brother has passed away this year.
Even through my struggles I know I have so much to be thankful for....a husband who doesn't give up on me, a daughter who says "I love you" with her smile and her eyes, two compassionate boys....
What a great Thanksgiving story! I'm thankful for so many things-a loving Heavenly Father, an adoring husband, 3 wonderful sons, 3 wonderful daughters-in-law and 3 beautiful grandkids! Health, freedom, sunshine and wonderful friends!
I am so thankful for my sweet husband and 2 precious little boys! They make life interesting,

I am thankful that God has provided us with a home in which to share Thanksgiving with our family and friends.
I am thankful that I am a most special child of God...and you are, too. I am thankful that my God has given my life a purpose...to live to praise and worship Him and to encourage others to live to praise and worship Him. Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving wishes...I hope that your daughter gets the time off after all. Happy Thanksgiving! Cherry Kay
I am thankful for my Husband, who does soo much for me and the kids, I never tell him how thankful I am and how great he is! I am Thankful for all of my wonderful friends and my wonderful opportunity to do what I love everyday! Craft & Create!
I am thankful for God's grace which I don't deserve but He lavishes on me despite of my short comings! And I am thankful that we have a beautiful little cottage to share special times with family in. No matter how small and unexpected things went this year we have a warm, cozy place to call "home"!
Thank you for your sweet Thanksgiving giveaway, Heidi! Wishing you safe travels and a lovely holiday! :)
