Thanksgiving and November's end

My husband hunted this year for the first time in over 30 years. He was able to get his two deer that he had licenses for. So I will be cooking venison again after many years. People have been helpful telling me how they fix it so we'll see how we like the different recipes.

Thanksgiving has come and gone. This was a hard one for me because of things I am struggling with and some things that happened right before our dinner. I did enjoy having the family members here that could come. Some things are such a tradition (being together with certain people at the same place and having some of the same foods) that I'm sure we would miss them terribly as they are part of the fabric of our being. I know that I have many many things to be thankful for and I need to begin showing my gratitude to God more often.

God is still "trying" to teach me things--like that He is in control; I am not. There are many things that I can't do anything about. Those are the things that are hard to just let be and wait for God to work.

A verse in our Sunday School class today spoke to me from Psalm 112:7--"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." I think I will start reading the Psalms daily--maybe in The Message. Maybe God can speak to this heart that seems so sad lately.
