Thanksgiving Indeed!

WOW! Boy am I grateful for my THRIVE food today. We took our 5 kiddos to Disneyland for Thanksgiving & 3 hours from our house we had a major car accident & lost our van entirely.
R.I.P. "BIG RED"
After a hectic 4 hours of waiting for a rental van with all our luggage, 5 kids, Christmas presents, etc on the side of the 101 freeway, I started counting my blessings. Nobody got hurt (other than the van) & we were still able to go to Disneyland for 4 days.

HOWEVER, coming home last night to an empty fridge & pantry is NOT fun. Today is the day I normally get groceries, but I don't have a vehicle now. I can't walk 5 kids to the grocery store & come back with $100 worth of food. It would kill everyone involved. ha ha ha.

SO THANK HEAVENS for THRIVE. I am relaxed right now as instant milk is chilling in the fridge, & a pot of chicken creole is simmering on the stovetop. Thank heavens for freeze dried chicken, veggies, & instant rice. What a life saver.

THIS is what THRIVE is for & I'm grateful to be a part of that. Thank you Shelf Reliance for saving my family during the hard times.

  1. I'm glad you all are okay. We've been under the weather and it is nice to not have to venture out even under those circumstances.
