A Season of Thankfulness


How thankful our hearts are to celebrate every November not only Thanksgiving but our wedding anniversary as well. We look forward to gathering with Henry's family at Camp Maranook in Alabama. Together we worship the LORD, mourn the losses and celebrate the new additions every year to the growing number of grandchildren that grace the holiday festivities. And of course enjoy delicious food together.
Our anniversary tends to get lost in the Christmas flurry, so to beat the rush
Henry and I chose to celebrate early. We had a lovely dinner at St. John's restaurant and then attended a performance of Ahmahl and the Night Visitors at the Tivoli Theater. It was an opera about a young crippled boy who welcomes the three wise men into his home and then joins them on their journey to meet the Christ Child. It had a ballet troupe of villagers dancing in the middle of the play. It represented the joy found in celebrating a special occasion together.
