Rest in peace, turkeys

I hope all my fellow Americans had a great Thanksgiving Day. I hope all of you non-Americans also had a great day too, actually. But… you know what I mean.

We had a nice, though low-key, day. Mom and Dad and I started off our day by watching the end of the Macy’s parade and the subsequent dog show, and then we played Myst V together. Dad made a delicious, creamy pasta dish for dinner—not because we had any sentimental notions of sparing a turkey, but because we are saving our real Thanksgiving dinner for Sunday evening, when my brother and his wife can be here. Then we will be having Turkey and stuffing and gravy and rolls and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie yum yum yum.

I would love to expound on some of the many things for which I am thankful, but I have to get up at an unholy hour tomorrow morning. (I’ve never gone shopping on Black Friday before, but I saw some very inexpensive compact flash cards advertised at Circuit City and I want to try my luck at getting some.)

So I will leave it at this: I am thankful for the fact that God is in control of my life, and that He is a good God. I am thankful that I can trust Him through the twists and turns my story takes, and I am thankful for the blessings He has given me in this world (my family, my school, the things I enjoy) and the promise He has given us for the next. Most of all, I am thankful for the mercy He extends to us all.
