Being Thankful And Spreading Our Happiness

This Thanksgiving is very special for our family. My father-in-law is cancer free after a very tough battle with stomach cancer this year. This year we are extremely thankful that he is recovering and healing. We are thankful that we can spend the day together knowing that this tough year is behind us.

This Thanksgiving my husband decided he wanted to share our thankfulness and good cheer with others. We are having Thanksgiving dinner at our house for eleven people. He has asked everyone to bring an item that we can include in a box to send a soldier currently serving in Iraq. Our guests have jumped right on board and are very excited about this idea. We found wish lists for packages at http://www.anysoldier.com/. We will be putting together our package and shipping it out immediately, so the soldier we picked will hopefully get his package before Christmas. This is very easy to do. Maybe you will be inspired to help out a soldier serving our country as well.
