Boxes of Memories & Thanksgiving Dinner

Day 12-  I'm thankful for an abundance of memories.  Yesterday, I began packing up my room, going through all my worldly goods, and sifting through my memories. As always, it was... well... less than fun.  I don't like packing.  It makes me sad.  Packing means leaving, and I don't like starting over.  Yet, at the same time, I LOVE starting over.  I like the fresh new feeling of beginning again. So as I sifted, sorted, and packed, I was reminded of a great deal of wonderful life moments from my past.  In that regard, I'm thankful for the opportunity to move because in doing so, I was able to think about some pretty great things.

Day 13- I'm pretty sure I mentioned this one already, but I'm don't think there aren't any rules about "no repeats" so...  I'm thankful for my amazingly wonderful church family at Farmington.  Today was our annual Thanksgiving dinner after the service, and I was reminded of just how awesome my family in Christ is.  We are blessed with an abundance of marvelous cooks, which I'm pretty sure is practically a requirement to be Baptist!  I enjoyed great conversation around the table with some key adults from my life, who still love me: a former Sunday school teacher... or three, a former piano teacher, and several other wonderful people.  As this was my last Sunday at Farmington for quite awhile, I really took the time to lock these faces into my memory and remember this day.
