Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

From our family to yours, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hughes Family

Sitting here this morning, I realize how much I’ve got to be thankful for. Most of it being my family, but there is much more on top of that.

I will reflect more on the fight in a bit, but I do want to say thanks for all the support and concern for me. I’ve been on my website and a little on my Facebook and I’ve read all the encouragement. So once again, hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. God Bless.

The Bible verse for this week:

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not: I will help thee. (Isaiah 41-13)
