Our Hangout

My Thanksgiving

I had an interesting Thanksgiving Weekend.

It all started with waking up sneezing and sniffling on Saturday morning. The sneezing and the runny nose kept getting worst.

The afternoon and the rest of the day had us at Jonathan and Ashlee's Wedding. A wonderful wedding with at least five pastors involved in the ceremony. I did the announcements and a prayer. Ok, by then the cold was at full throttle and I forgot the prayer, but did it when reminded.

In the evening I had to MC the reception. Again, lots of fun, really, but the cold just kept getting worst. It really was an awesome wedding for two really cool friends.

Sunday morning, ok, now I'm living on Tylenol Cold. I wake up late. I have to lead worship. I have no voice. But we make it through most of the service. I don't remember most of the service, not in a coherent manner anyway. Someone described the service as powerful. One of those, when you are weak moments. I love it when God just does really cool things when you just don't have anything to offer.

The afternoon had us travelling to Ajax for family thanksgiving. I made it through afternoon Thanksgiving dinner, laid down for a moment on the couch, and slept the rest of the day away. Woke up at 11:30, went to bed, slept into the morning. Planned to get up and going early this morning, slept in again. However, with all that sleeping, the cold is much better, although I sound a lot worst.

All in all, cold and all, I had a really good Thanksgiving. Just wished my head was a little clearer through it all. But eh, as Paul said, "give thanks in all circumstances."

This Thanksgiving I am glad for family, friends and a God that is faithful, even when I am not.
