Happy Thanksgiving - blessings and thankfulness

 A few of the blessings for which I'm thankful. It's hard to get our family together, much less to get a good photo of everyone. 






Part of the Zabel family
Our son Bob took this picture, which
shows Robert and me in the background,
Randy and our granddaughter Macayla on my
side of the table. Grandson Ryan is closest
to the camera, with granddaughter Keri
and Janelle facing Randy and Macayla.
                                                                                                      




Bob and Brenda

          I am thankful for the blessings God has given me. All my family cannot be together for Thanksgiving, but I'm glad to be with those I will see: Robert, Randy, Janelle, Ryan, Colby, Shane, Jackie, and Merrietta this Thanksgiving. Randy and Colby will be on crutches, but they are recovering from surgery.

          All our other grandchildren and children will be with members of other family branches, as will our great-grandchildren. I pray all will be safe and with loved ones.

          I pray all my friends and church family will have a day of blessings Thursday. God has given me so much, and though I may not always remember to give thanks, I am grateful.
