Today is the first day of Thanksgiving Break for me. I stepped outside to go to my car and saw a college age woman kicking a soccer ball against a cement wall next door. I told her that people get a kick out of soccer. She smiled. Then I asked if she knew that soccer is in the bible. I shared this verse with her from Philippians 3:
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Goal is in the bible 🙂 So I started the day off by telling 2 jokes. Awesome start. Then it was off to, can you guess it? Drum roll please.
I went to the coffee shop. Big surprise I know. They gave me a mug to use that best describes how I feel when I partake of that magical elixir coffee.
That feeling lasts until I stand up and remember oh yes I live with chronic illness. But the experience of being in the coffee shop on my first day off in a month is wonderful.
Later this afternoon I will pick up a flan dessert a friend is making for me and then it will be nap time. A whirlwind of activity necessitates a nap. 🙂 lol
How is your day before Thanksgiving Day?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

I am relaxing with Netflix
relaxing is good 🙂
Sounds like a good day. 😊 My wife is making her famous homemade Thanksgiving cinnamon rolls today. We will also be making cookies soon. Looking forward to eating all the goodies. It is definitely nice to be on break. Happy Thanksgiving! 😊🦃
When she makes cookies, do you wait to lick the spoon or does that belong to the children? 🙂
There is usually a spoon and the electric mixer, so we all get a little taste. 😊
I was given a homemade flan today too!
Love flan
I shared mine with friends
Lovely!! That’s great that you gave her a little joke and then scripture to follow up!!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day Matt! Our church serves a Thanksgiving meal each year (open to the community) and since I have Covid and am home bound someone will deliver 5 meals to our house from the church…so kind, definitely different than our usual but I’m really thankful for this option.
I am glad you could have a meal delivered. Praying for you little sister about COVID and about cancer
Thank you Matt!!! Thank you for those prayers!
I don’t think we celebrate thanksgiving, it’s only talked of in Church and all it means is extra presents for offerings , people will be giving so many gifts and they are not given in terms of money but things like food ,wine etc other than that , its a normal day with no special meals 😂 Have a blessed thanksgiving 😇
gifts of food are nice 🙂
But they are all given in Church only 😂
food anywhere is good 🙂
Okay 😌
Ohh, someone just told me about your holiday , we don’t have it , i was just confusing it with another thanksgiving day 🤭
🙂
Smiles. It is interesting!
I have never related that verse to soccer. 😁
Do you play soccer?
No. I barely watch it. 🙈
Happy weekend, big bro.
Happy weekend little sister
Matt, it goes without saying. I’ve got your coffee shop routine figured out. If my commute time wasn’t so long, I’d join you.
It would be fun to have coffee together and swap stories
