Thankful at Thanksgiving

I am indeed thankful. Thankyou, God, for my healthy husband,Stan, for our wonderful children, Monica,Melissa and Stephen and grandchildren, Linaya and Josiah. Thankyou for Roy and Robert added to our family. Thankyou for another successful harvest. Thankyou for so many in extented family and friendships that warm our lives and give us strength.

We are off to Regina this weekend to attend Lectureship at Western Christian College. It has become destination for Thanksgiving weekend over the years and it is wonderful to hear encouraging lessons from talented speakers, share in singing hymns and praises with hundreds of people and reconnecting with people we haven't seen for a while. They say it may snow, but that really doesn't seem to matter!

I would appreciate your prayers for our friend Vicki Knutson of Regina. She is married to Carman and Mom to 6 wonderful sons. She will be having surgery next Friday to have a cancerous tumor removed from inside her nose. Please pray for the success of her surgery and for her strength for recovery. Ruby Bell (married to Elford) is also scheduled for knee surgery in Regina in two weeks. Please also keep her in your prayers for a quick recovery.

Happy thanksgiving to all of you. Enjoy the day with your "attitude of gratitude" :-)
