Top 10 Things I’m Looking Forward to This Thanksgiving


  1. Four hours of holiday tunes in the car on the way to Pittsburgh. (And great company, of course!)
  2. Sleeping in!
  3. Reading in front of the fire on my parents’ couch. Nothing is more relaxing.
  4. Seeing my sweet grandparents.
  5. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pumpkin bread, etc.
  6. Holiday fun with M’s family. I don’t get to see them too often, but I love his big, crazy family.
  7. Black Friday shopping with Grammy and Christmas shopping for everyone on her list!
  8. Worship at my parents’ church. Something about it always reminds me of home. They have a wonderful young pastor who has breathed new live into their church. I love to hear him preach.
  9. Catching up with high school girlfriends over coffee and dinner. I miss these girls so much, and it’s not too often when several of us are in the same place. We won’t be a complete group, and we’ll miss the ladies that aren’t with us, but I can’t wait to see their pretty faces! 
  10. Being thankful. It’s the one day a year that we can devote ourselves totally to being humble. I think sometimes I need a reminder like Thanksgiving to take time out to count my blessings and exercise true gratitude.

To finding humility,

Lia
