Oh The Simple Things I Love About Thanksgiving

I’m so excited for our Thanksgiving this year.

In the past our meal was surrounded by the stress of making the most out of nothing as money was so critically tight, but this year is different for us.

This year I have a job which is enabling us to enjoy a few extras that we are so use to doing without or dealing with the stress to make it happen.

This year however, I was able to think about what we liked and make my plans according to what we want without the stress of trying to make it happen.

So here is to my homemade Apple Pie.

I’m excited to have my Apple pie served with a dollop of whip cream.

Then there is the awaited Friday morning serving of pumpkin pie with whip cream for breakfast.

Oh the simple things I love about Thanksgiving.

About Me

Heidi Benson

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, started working at a Christian school after being out of work for 20 plus years while I raised my daughter and now I am currently a volunteer assistant to the director at our local hospital. I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 27 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom. The past 25 years have been wrought with many struggles, but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you. I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling. Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him. Big Hugs, Heidi
