| Preseason Thanksgiving Spread |
It started last November when Josh was going to be deployed shortly before Thanksgiving Day. Myra, aka Mama Bear, had the great idea of putting together an early Thanksgiving dinner so that he wouldn't miss the most delicious holiday of the year. We quickly started planning and inviting some friends to join us. That night was filled with delicious food, many laughs, and good bonding time. Though I didn't realize it that evening, something else was happening. We were forming our own little family of sorts.

| Friends that are Family <3 |
Throughout the last year we've shared in our life experiences together, new homes, new jobs, birthdays, weddings, new cars, races, holidays, sickness, loss, and everything in between. With our faith in Christ being our foundation, we have been cultivating our relationships with one another. I'm thankful to have this family away from family. These are my people. People who I would trust with anything. People who I know their door is open to me at all times. People to pray with and pray for, to celebrate with and mourn with. People to encourage and support. That being said, why not have another preseason Thanksgiving this year to show my love and gratitude for them all? Full bellies and full hearts filled the evening.
Lord, thank you for the gift of friends that become our family. I pray that you would be with us as we go into another year. I pray for your strength, wisdom, and guidance to help us be there for one another. As we grow closer to one another I pray that is draws us even closer You. Amen.
