The Things That Matter Most

The things that matter most in our lives

are not the treasures that we acquire along the way

but rather the treasure chest of moments, memories and experiences

shared with the people we love...

{borrowed from a Thanksgiving card I got today}

This Thanksgiving, I think about what I am most grateful for. And I am most grateful for the people in my life--for the family that I have and for having them here with me. I cannot imagine being away from them. I am grateful that God has blessed me with parents and siblings who are still with us in this world. My greatest fear is to lose anyone of them to death. I pray that God will bless us with many more years together. I am grateful for the few but genuine friends that I have. My friends are my extended family.

This Thanksgiving, I also wish that people who are alone will find someone, children who are abandoned will find families, families that are broken will reunite and those who are lost will find their way back home.

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends, love, laughter, good food, good company and many, many memories to hold close.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
