Jeff and I had to start the rotation this year to fully enjoy the holidays. So round one is Thanksgiving with the Carver's in Baton Rouge. Holidays are not always rosy or anticipated by many due to stresses of many kinds. Lord, keep us sensitive to what is going on in the lives of those around us! We did get to enjoy a wonderful traditional holiday that is my kind of holiday: surrounded by those you love, time to think and thank God for your blessings, lots of laughs and family stories, eating food you don't get to eat all at one time, lots of good football (Bulldogs victorious over the Rebels and LSU beat Arkansas - good weekend!), taking in a movie, worshiping together as a family... Jeff and I ran our first race together: The Turkey Trot in downtown Baton Rouge. He had a strong kick and I pulled in 30 seconds behind him trying to keep up.
Jeff and I actually do enjoy car time together for good lengthy talks that somehow you don't do with the "usual" of life. We took time to count our blessings as we drove and thought of many family and friends, the grace of God, our church and Sunday school class, our jobs and home, our marriage,...the list is countless...Enjoy some pix from the weekend. Next holiday we'll rematch the "old folks" vs. "young folks" in Taboo.
