Footprints In The Sand....Happy Thanksgiving ....Turkey or Chicken this year? PUMPKING PIE IS A MUST!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Hope that you're having a great day.

I am fighting a tiny flu......hopefully will be better by weekend's end.

I am planning lots of family time (as long as my cold doesn't get in the way) tomorrow and am done shopping....and yes, Have gotten my favorite, Pumpkin Pie!! And whipped cream.

Wherever you find yourself this weekend, I hope it's a safe, and very enjoyable time.

Here's a poem that I got as a reminder from my friend, Anita. Thanx for the all important reminder, Anita, that we're not always the one who's carrying ourselves.....maybe we should turn things over to a higher power more often?

The Poem, "Footprints in the Sand"

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one setof footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You."
