This verse has resonated with me this past week. I read it in my devotions one morning, our pastor said it in his sermon, and it was in my Sunday school lesson with my 2-3 year olds. God IS GOOD. He is worthy of our thanks and our praise! Always!
We had not planned on going out of town for Thanksgiving. We had other plans, but those plans fell through. Our son and daughter encouraged us to go to Arkansas so that's what we ended up doing and we are so glad we did! We rode down with Jill's family.
The last time we went to Arkansas, there was so much construction that we
decided to take the Tulsa route. We always turn at Tontitown to head to the kids' house. But Google Maps gave another alternative that was quite an adventure!
The grandchildren had so much fun together!

We had LOTS of dessert. Emeri decorated this Thanksgiving chocolate cake. Sooo moist and good!
After dinner, Dan took us on a hayrack ride.
When it got dark, we headed for downtown Fayetteville to see the lights.
And the youngest got to visit with Santa.
"Is this beard real?"
Thankful for our Thanksgiving and especially for the One Who came for us in that manger.
Christmas decorating will begin soon!
