Today I'm observing Thankful Thursday in my hometown, Decatur, IL.
M and I drove down this afternoon to spend a few days with my mom and dad. My knuckles are slowly regaining some of their color. Just kidding. M is a good driver; it's just hard for me to relax and relinquish control. I wouldn't say that I'm a backseat driver, but I'm not above offering the odd suggestion or trying to "help" brake from the passenger seat.
My mom had a delicious meal planned for dinner -- chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and tomatoes -- and M and I arrived in time to help her fix everything. After dinner we had layer cake (white cake with white frosting) and homemade vanilla ice cream. There is a reason why I don't live in Decatur. If I did, I think I would probably weigh even more than I do now. : /
So as you've read this, you might think I'm going to say that on this Thankful Thursday I am thankful for delicious food, but I am thankful for so much more.
I am thankful for the opportunity to spend time with my mom and dad, even if it's just for a few days. I'm all too aware that the time I have with my parents is growing shorter and I want to take advantage of every moment. The Lord has blessed me with a great mom and dad and I love them so much!
