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.
