My mind is spinning that we’re already at the end of November and today is Thanksgiving. This year has flown by in a blur. Has it felt the same for you? Are you ready to sit down to a table overloaded with turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and fresh rolls? Maybe there’s an apple or pumpkin pie ready to be eaten while you watch a football game or play card games with friends and family. We love sitting around the table with all kinds of games stacked to the side and spend time flipping through them. Trying different games and egging each other on. My family is so hyper-competitive!

This year, as every year, I’m grateful for you.
Thank you for reading our books.
Each and every one of us on this blog could not do what we do if you didn’t give your hard-earned dollars and precious time to step into our story worlds and get to know our characters. That is a gift that none of us take lightly. The quote above is so very accurate and true.

Each journey into our story worlds starts with the turning of a page. Thank you for investing your reading time in our books this year. It truly is a gift that we highly value. Probably more than you’ll ever understand.
Thank you for telling other readers about our books.
For posting about them on Facebook or Instagram. For posting quick reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.
For asking your libraries to buy our books so that others can discover them.
Each and every one of those actions mean the world to us.

To thank you, I’m going to give away at least two books. One will be the winner’s choice of one of my books. The other will be from my TBR pile. All you have to do to have an opportunity to receive one of these books is use the form below.
What are you thankful for this year?

I am thankful for everyday that I wake up and for my family and friends.
I am thankful for the myriad Christian authors who bless me with the excellent novels that they write! Thank you!
I am thankful for my beautiful Granddaughter Ingrid. She brings joy and happiness to us.
I’m always thankful for Jesus and spiritual blessings first and foremost but in addition, I’m so thankful to be part of the wonderful Christian Fiction writing community.
My daughter surprised me by coming home from North Carolina. I hadn’t expected it, but was so blessed. I’m thankful for family, both actual and chosen. Writing has brought me so many new friends that have become like family. We encourage and pray for one another. Thank you for your books and the encouragement they bring to so many, Cara.
Lots of things. My family, Salvation in Christ, wonderful Christian writers that write awesome Christian Fiction. My friends at church, keeping in touch with my highschool friends ( and finding out some are now Christians!) and co workers from years past!
Other than the major things I’m always blessed and thankful for, this year I’m thankful for being directed to the right medical professionals that are helping me deal with my pain. It’s great to finally have someone listen to me, understand what I’m dealing with and working with me to help lessen the pain or at least make it manageable.
I am most thankful for spending time with my husband and my 94-year old mom. She has dementia and it is sad to see her confused and frightened at times. We plan to take her to see her sister in a nursing home after lunch. It’s always special when the two sisters get together!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Blessings to you. Dementia is so hard. My Dad suffered from it, and now I am going through it with my husband.
I am thankful that Covid seems to be easing up in our community and we can have a little more freedom.
I am thankful that I get to spend another Thanksgiving with my dad. We just lost my mom last month.
This year, particularly, I am thankful for the good books which keep coming : they are welcome escapism from present troubles…
I’m thankful for my family and my faith in God.
I am thankful that I can visit my 90 year old dad today, and that I could visit my three grandchildren in CA earlier this month!
I’m thankful for God’s constant presence and guide in my life, for the company and support of my family and friends and for keeping us in health.
I’m thankful that all my loved ones who were here at the start of the year are still with me, for good books to read, and all the modern conveniences…but most of all I am grateful for my Savior.
I am thankful for family and friends. What a great blog post! Thank you.
Thankful for faith, family, and friends.
I’m thankful for many things, including my family.
I’m thankful my mama lived with me for 9 months and I had the privilege of caring for her until she passed to her heavenly home.
I am thankful for good health!
I am thankful for Salvation in Jesus. And for my family.
I am thankful that we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family this year (unlike last year!).
This year I am especially thankful for my faith, as through this year I have become so much more aware that God has got this, He’s got ME. He’s been with me in the past, He’s here now and understands how confusing and worrying this life can be, and is with me every step, and He knows the end, the scary “future”. Really developing this in my heart and mind has calmed me down so very much!
Thankful for my household and extended family.
I’m thankful to the Lord for the gift of his son Jesus who provides a way to the Father through his death and resurrection. I’m thankful for the gift of salvation. I’m also thankful for His provision, the blessing of family, friends, and a wonderful church home. I’m thankful for Christian authors who provide wholesome stories to enjoy. I’m grateful for the job the Lord has provided my hands to do. I’m grateful to live in the USA where we can freely worship our Creator. So many more blessings for which I am grateful, but not the time to mention. God is so good…even in the hard times in life. He is faithful and can be trusted!
I am grateful to be with family and clear scans.
this year I am so grateful that my mother in law is getting healthy. four months ago she fell and broke her femur. she has delirium. the anesthesia they used during surgery made it worse. she is now getting out of it a bit. she is almost done with using her walker and learning to use a cane. she is so much happier and back to her normal self most of the time. woohoo God is so good.
I’m so thankful for my family!
I’m thankful for my church family!
I’m thankful for my family, that we can all be together and that we love each other. There’s so much strife in this world I’m so grateful to have people who love me and are there for me.
