"O Come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. Psalm 95:1-6
Each day of the year is a day to give thanks but at this time of year we truly do pause and give thanks to God for the abundance we have personally, as a family and as a nation. It is wonderful to start this 2008 Thanksgiving day with our family tradition for the past six years of participating in the local Run For The Hungry. This year 27,000 lined the streets of for miles joyfully celebrating together a time of thanks and an opportunity to help those less fortunate. All proceeds from the race go to the food bank.
Megan, Josh and Isabelle spent the night on Wednesday night. As the guys played and corralled Isabelle, Megan and I were busy in the kitchen doing all the prep work for Thursdays brunch. It was such fun to have them stay overnight and work together as a family to get everything prepared.
Thanksgiving morning Katie and her boyfriend Chad met us at the house and we headed to Sac State to start the race. The morning was a perfect brisk fall morning. After the rain of Wednesday the air smelled so fresh and the temperature was perfect for a run/walk.
We returned to the Meyer house for a relaxing time watching the movie Wall-E enjoying a wonderful brunch and visiting that seemed to last for hours. Josh's mother and father joined us in the afternoon for more eating and visiting. Megan and I are heading out early in the morning for Black Friday shopping (yeah it's crazy but it is good mother/daughter bonding) and we hope to score some good deals for Christmas.
