KJ,

Thank you for your kind words!

I’m sure that even though you are not able to hunt in your area, that there are probably many things that can become “wonderful” memories for you! In my situation, “hunting” became a necessity if we were going to have a nice Thanksgiving meal together.

I don’t know how your family is, but in my little family, we are always making new memories & family traditions! I think I’ll write about some of those real soon ;)

Angela,

You’re right about the “time” involved with teaching our family to share a thankful heart! It takes a lifetime (and sometimes - a few hard times). When it comes to my parents, they always brought our focus back to God, and how thankful “they” were for His help in their lives. Which in turn… helped my brother & I to know, that it was God that helped our family through all of our “issues” … through the faithfulness of my parents to believe that God would be there for us. Now my brother & I, and our mates are teaching our children to focus on God for His help in their lives. That is in turn causing them to be thankful to Him when they see the answers to their prayers!

Now… if I can turn out to be half the parent that my parents were to us… I will be forever grateful ;)

This is a thoughtful and inspiring article! What a nice memory to have! Here in Southern California, people have to travel a ways before they can do any hunting. My Father doesn’t hunt, but my Grandfather did in North Platte, Nebraska.

We get so distracted, don’t we? And, it seems that there are assignments and agendas in place to see that we stay that way. Thank God for Jesus!

Merry Christ-mas!

What a lovely post–I love the story about your Dad going out for the goose. I would like to try and instill that kind of positive outlook on my family, and I’m working on it, but it’s hard coming, sometimes. Thank you for the inspiration.
