Thanksgiving 2024 did not go as planned.
We didn't get to enjoy quality time around a table with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Our Thursday saw no turkey, no gravy, no mashed potatoes, no stuffing, no green been casserole, no cranberries, no toasted-marshmallow-topped yams.
And certainly no pumpkin pie.
Instead, we are home, still hacking so hard we momentarily lose our breath.
all. night. long.
But we're thankful anyway.
We are grateful for our home.
Grateful for each other.
Blessed to have such supportive relationships in our lives.
Friends checking in on us & gifting us homemade soup.
Borrowed bottles of essential oils & homeopathic remedies.
Help offered when the tractor broke down, for the eighteen-hundredth time.
Prayers and encouraging words lifted on our behalf.
How does that saying go? Something like, "What if you wake up tomorrow morning, and the only things (and people) you have ... are the things (and people) you've thanked God for today?
What if?
So today, we are reminding ourselves to express our gratitude.
For all that the Good Lord has given us and trusted us to steward.
Thank you, to you, for allowing us into your email inbox
to our customers, who trust us to raise your food
to our Regenerate participants, who are brave enough to ask different questions
to our mentors, who gift us with tremendous leadership
to our family & friends, who love us unconditionally
to the people who show up when we ask for help

Before I say farewell to you today,
I'm going to share an invitation.
