Today I am thankful for a busy week. I had breakfast with my sister Linda yesterday like we try to do every week and it was great having that special time to start our day. It would be easy to say things are too busy and just not do it but we won't let that happen and we are better for it.
Tonight I have the priviledge of going to see my grandson Kaden in his Christmas program at church where he goes for day care during the week. It also give me the opportuninty to be with two of my girls and my other grandson Matthew after the performance. It will be quality time for my wife and I to spend with them.
Tomorrow night after work we will all meet over in my old home town of Nashville for my company Christmas party. We will start the evening at a place called the "Nashville Exchange" for a wonderful meal and time for employee's families to share time together and give thanks for yet another year being blessed to have a job and to work for a family that loves us like family. That is unique in this day and time. After the meal we will walk up the street to the Old Baptist Church which is now the Nash County Cultural Center for a performance of The Christmas Carol which should be wonderful.
So you see it is a busy week but a good week and for that I am truly thankful.
You are so right, Odie. Busy is good. Having a job, particularly one provided by a caring employer, is truly a blessing. Sharing meals and activities with family is very important, not just during the holiday season but all year 'round. Busy is the opposite of bored. Every time I hear somebody say they are bored I can't imagine how it's possible to be bored when there are so many things to do and learn and people to meet, love and help.
ReplyDeleteMy Odie that certainly does sound like a busy, but lovely schedule! I've been rather busy here myself...from ordering presents for the family to starting to prepare for our trip home. Hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
ReplyDeletesounds like a lot of fun, and good times ahead of you for this week!

Odie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have so much to be thankful for.
Good things to be thankful for, indeed, Odie. I would love to see that performance of The Christmas Carol. I love it, especially at this time of the year, and usually end up with tears in my eyes at the end. That is so good that you meet up with your sister every week. As you say, it is so easy to just let things like that slip. I hope that Kaden does well in his Christmas programme!
ReplyDeleteA busy week - but a beautiful one, Odie.
