As the McPhedran family gathers around the table for Thanksgiving, there is the joy and the laughter that makes the day so wonderful. There is a table full of favorites and traditions that will take us the entire next week to eat and to enjoy. Around our table there are always great expressions of what it is that we are thankful for along with memorable moments for reflection.

Over the years, we have learned to appreciate the chance to gather as family, and frequently with friends to feast, to fellowship and to enjoy the pleasures of the day. We are thankful for the places where God has called us and for the great church families that we are a part of. Most of all, we are thankful for God’s daily provision, for the guidance as He leads us through all of life and for the love that we share within our family and as a part of His family.

Our faith, our family, our friends are important to us, and we look forward to the blessings that will continue to follow. I hope that you will join us not simply in celebrating the blessings of the day, but in anticipation of the future that God has for each one of us. May we take to heart, the words of the Psalmist (118:29) Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Blessings,

Scott, Karen, Alli and Hannah
