About nine years ago, Carl and I started a tradition we now refer to as "Thanksgiving Miracle Breakfast". When we lived in NC, the breakfast was for those students who were "stuck" at Gardner-Webb University with no family. We served a big breakfast and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It was great! When we moved to Nashville, we conitnued the tradition, only now, it's people who live too far away to travel home for the holiday. Yesterday, we had 30 plus people at our house enjoying our Thanksgiving Miracle Breakfast. Carl and I were re-capping yesterday's events and realizing that we have so much to be thankful for - especially the wonderful people God has put in our lives. What a blessing to have such good friends!! My cup runneth over!!!
(P.S. as a side note, the name "Miracle breakfast" comes from the fact that our good friend Trish Murray from NC would not come to our b-fast after several years of being invited. One year she FINALLY decided to show up and when she walked in the door, Carl yelled "It's a Thanksgiving Miracle"!) And so begins our legend . . .
