Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  I am hosting dinner this year for my family.  I will have 10 family members in town for the holiday weekend.  This is the first holiday I've had since my Mom died.  I want to do all things right , like she would.  She loved having the family for all the holidays.  It's somewhat more stressful since it's not just dinner, but everyone here for the entire weekend.  Six of the 10 will be staying in our house, but I do look forward to the time with my family. I must say I am feeling good.  I've been seeing a nutritional response specialist and the supplements she is giving  me have really helped.  I have noticed that I am handling stress better.  However, sometimes I wish I would get more help from my other half.  Why do men think everything gets done on its own?  I'll never figure that out. I am thankful for all the Lord has given me and my family, but I have such a difficult time praying right now.  Does anyone feel that?  It is so hard to stay focused.  We've had some trouble with my 15 year old son.  He is angry all the time and his grades are falling.  I'm very worried about him.  Every evening I try to pray for him, but my thoughts begin to wonder.  I hope the Lord hears me now, that we need help. I guess I don't have much to say.  I wanted to wish everyone a great Thanksgiving.  I wish you all health and peace as we approach the Christmas holiday.  I am grateful to all of you here for friendship and concern. Bless you All, Chris
