Happy Thanksgiving

Wow, it has been a long time since I have blogged--too long really.

A few updates: There was a little boy that I mentioned about a year ago. This child suffered brain damage and permanent loss of vision when he found a pistol and shot himself in the eye. At the time I wrote my blog last October, the child's future was uncertain. I am happy to report that he has made a spectacular recovery. A few months after the accident, I can recall seeing him in church. His parents pushed him around in a little stroller. The boy was limp and unresponsive. A few more months went by, then he hesitantly began to walk, but he could not talk. Now he can talk up a blue streak and can run like the wind! He has a leg brace and a helmet for his head. Other than that, he is like any other boy his age. This summer I had the privilege of working with him during Vacation Bible School. This child is truly happy, and I hope that his future remains bright and optimistic.

My husband is now on disability. He has had a myriad of health problems and has endured numerous operations. Last year he had no fewer than three operations. When he applied for disability, he was accepted the first time which is almost unheard of, so I am told. Most people have to go through a lawyer to get social security disability.

At the current time, all my family members are healthy which is a trend that I hope will continue now and throughout the Christmas season. That is what I am most thankful for this year, the health and well being of my family and friends.

I am including a link for a cute Thanksgiving game. It is a version of the hangman game in which a player tries to guess letters to form words. You get a number of guesses before your character gets the noose. All the words to this game pertain to Thanksgiving.

Enjoy!
