Turbo Blogging and Thanksgiving

Turbo blogging is what happens when you are a blog contributor and you fail to blog for awhile! I have had a nice little pile of written stuff but have just failed to post it. I hope you all will forgive me.
Can it possibly be Thanksgiving Week? Has it snuck up on you, too? I am so excited that we are entering the Christmas season but I sometimes feel that Thanksgiving gets less attention than it should. I want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope that you all get to spend time with your families and don't have to spend every spare minute cooking or driving. Those two things can "eat" into this fast week.
I do want to list a few things I am thankful for. Bear with me.....when you contribute to the blog you get this opportunity!

1. I am thankful for Jesus. He loves me with all of my flaws and forgives me.
2. I am thankful for my family, my country, my church and all that God has blessed me with.
3. I am thankful for MOPS which has helped keep me sane for the past two years. I am thankful that Ann Simmons answered God's call to start our Simpsonville group. I am thankful that Michelle is continuing what Ann started and that she is understanding. I am thankful for all of the Steering Committee and all that they do to help keep everything on track twice a month. I am thankful for all of the great friends I keep continuing to make by being a part of this group. You all make me a better mom and your support is priceless. I love you all!
4. I am thankful for all of the shortcuts I will use later this week: pre-chopped onions, whipped cream, Peppridge Farm stuffing and my microwave.......yes I will be cooking this year!!!!

Love in Christ,
Jerri Lyn
