Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, it is now going on 230 am on Thanksgiving morning. I wasnt feeling too well, so I went to bed early. But then I was awaken by a busted pipe in the kitchen, so of course now I am wide awake. So I laid in bed thinking of all the things to be thankful for. There are just so many of them. Of course, I immediately thought of my family and friends. So I started listing them. I dont know about you, but sometimes when I list things, it will help me fall asleep.
One of the people that I started thinking about was Sis. Swope. She was my pastors' wife from Kansas. She passed away a couple of years ago, it may be a little bit longer, I dont remember exactly, but I started thinking about her. I truly believe that she is the most virtuous woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her voice never went above a whisper, she thought of everyone BUT herself. I think anyone who knew her would agree with me.
She tried, and tried hard, to teach me how to be a virtuous woman that God would be proud of. Of course in that time of my life, I wanted to do whatever I wanted, and refused to listen. I may not of applied those things in my life, but I did listen. I would like to think the things I am applying now in my life to be a better Christian woman and a better wife came from not just my mother and sister, but from Sis. Swope. I am eternally thankful and grateful to the Lord for bringing such a wonderful and virtuous woman into my life such as her and only wish that I would have taken the time to get to know her more.
I could write a book talking about all of the people I am thankful for that the Lord has brought into my life, but He laid on my heart to share her with you. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family and friends. And dont forget that Thanksgiving isnt just to celebrate history, but to give thanks unto the Lord for all of the things that he gives us and provides for us.
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!!
