This is from an email I sent to Brad and Tyler over a year ago in 2022. I just had to tell someone
Dear Brad, Christa and family and Tyler and family,
I just wanted to share with you our Thanksgiving and how it related to our morning Bible studies. I have a real dislike for Thanksgiving because of all the work we have to put into it and we always start late.
This year was no different, but I recalled what Tyler had said the week before. Pray for the little things. I mentioned that to my wife and she said a heartfelt prayer for God to help us through this time. I think the Lord Jesus himself held his hand up and told God the Father and the holy spirit, I'll take this one as I am a skilled craftsman and carpenter. Well, answered prayers aren't always what you expect. While finishing cleaning off our antique dining room table, I reached across the table, which has 4 legs on each side of a pedestal, Crack, 4 legs on one side of the table broke off and it was now at a 45° angle to the floor. Brad you had receiently mentioned that we should be patient in tribulations. Dinner was ready and we didn't have a table to eat at. So I just stared at the broken table and started to laugh. Thankfully my wife's oldest daughter had a 6 foot folding table she uses for craft fairs so at least we had a table to eat at. And Jesus saved our family from having hot turkey and gravy spilling in their laps, that was His answer. It was a Thanksgiving I will never forget and once again God saved the day.
Thanks for reading this, I hope it brought a smile to your face.
God bless all of you.
God's faithful servant, Danny.
2023 update. Thanksgiving last year was almost as eventful. The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, I passed out in the kitchen. Ambulance ride to the hospital, one of the EMT's said happy Thanksgiving, it was after midnight. I went home 4 days later.
My wife said I will do anything to get out of doing Thanksgiving.
Even in the bumps we can be thankful and find humor. You reminded me of a Praise story...with a pontoon boat and my phone at the center. lol A memorable night.
