Thanksgiving

This year we kept up our tradition of having friends, who have become like family, over for Thanksgiving. This year we had Diana and her son Levi, Margot, Rachel, and Joey and Lindsey. We are so thankful for the amazing friends we have here in Twentynine Palms and we are especially thankful for our Lord who has provided all of our great friends! Thanksgiving is a special holiday to me, and not just because of the food. I love taking the time to really sit and contemplate all of the blessings in my life. Last year, we started the tradition of sharing what we are thankful for. We all get our food and then one by one we go around the table and share. Last year, when Ben (Diana's husband), shared what he was thankful for I was truly touched, so much so that I think every year from here on out I will always think of the Brewster's at Thanksgiving. In a nut shell, Ben shared about how he's so thankful for our amazing Savior and the life we find in Him and how especially now that we have kids, it brings a whole new level of understanding to what that sacrifice truly meant! Anyway, for our friends and loved ones that couldn't be with us this year due to being deployed, distance, or just other circumstances, we missed you and you were thought of.
