Thanksgiving Vacation Extended

I have really enjoyed my Thanksgiving vacation this week. I have tried to do my best to take advantage of every moment and opportunity to enjoy the company and love of my family. Originally, my vacation was going to last till the Friday after Thanksgiving Day and then I was going to have to work the weekend, but yesterday my family and I went to the playground at the local city park and while we were there I received a telephone call at home from work. When I got home yesterday afternoon I listened to the telephone message and I was told that I was not going to be needed at work this weekend after all because the work load was so light, so I received great news that my vacation was going to be extended by two more days! Thank you Lord for this grace!

Thanksgiving Vacation 2007

It really has been very busy at my place of work the latter half of 2007. Between work and home life I am exhausted at the end of the day and once I have a moment to sit still for about five minutes my eyelids drop on me and I fall fast asleep. This routine deeply bothers and concerns me because it adversely affects my family and my pursuit of happiness, and because by the time I get home to spend time with my wife and kids, who I love most, they get Daddy’s leftovers. I am really looking forward to enjoying my 2007 Thanksgiving holiday because I will not have my energy divided most of this week between work and leftovers for home, but I will have the opportunity to have all of my energy devoted to serving and building up my family.

It is going to be by the amazing grace of God that my family is going to live within this world because I am unable by my own power to meet all of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. To accomplish this goal I pray as often as I can to God to supply the needs that I am unable to meet by my own power. Lord, have mercy on me and my family! We need your Divine Hand of Blessing and Providence!
