Happy Thankgiving to one and all!

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!! 

This is such a wonderful day to be truly thankful for all that God has blessed us with!  And just to think back on why we have such a Holiday and the history behind it.  Those people that traveled for weeks on end to have religious freedom in a new country and that they had such faith in their Lord and Savior....it truly boggles my mind to think about it!

Being thankful is so good for your heart and mind!  Even if your thankful for the simplest of things like...toothpaste, your favorite blanket, hot tea, (or coffee) and inside pluming!  (This list can go on and on!!)

Thank you Lord for everything that you have given us!  Thank you for our freedom in this country, and for family and friends, and thank you for dying on that cross for us and rising again on the 3rd day!

Lord you have given us EVERYTHING we need and SO much more!  Thank you!

What are some of the things that you are thankful for today?

 

Sick yet Thankful!

Today I awoke with a sore throat and all around grumpiness!  (yes, there are time when I get grumpy :P )

I thought I should be thinking of more things I am thankful for so here are three more!

1. Hot, healing tea.

2. Mommas to love me even when I'm a turkey and don't feel well.

3. I'm thankful that God has blessed me with the good health that I do have.  Sure, I'm not feeling 100% right now.  But God is SO good and I am not terminally sick or anything serious!

Thank you Lord!

SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!

I would encourage ALL my readers to go see this movie the first weekend it comes out!  The first weekend is very important to reviewers  to tell if a movie is worth their time.

From the same church who brought you "Flywheel"  and  "Facing the Giants"  and "Fireproof"  

 Go and see "Courageous!!!!"

Where I have been and what I have been up to.

Hello Everyone!

I recently got back from a visit with my grandmother and great grandmother in T.N.   My grandmother had fallen and broke her ankle in six places!  So,  my  family and I went there to help cook, clean, shop, and what ever else she needed us to do!   My family stayed one day and I ended up staying a whole week!

  I had lots of fun helping keep house and cook!  And it was very good experience for me to be cooking in some one else's kitchen (something I had never really done before) and using cleaning tools that I had rarely used before!  

And it was lots of fun just spending time with my  Grandmothers!  One night we got out a really old video camera and was able to watch the end of one old home movies that has been filmed long ago!  And I got to see my mom for a moment as a very little girl!  It was so sweet!

And the Tennessee  mountains were SO lovely!  From my Grandmother's houses you can see in the far distance the mountains, so big and glorious, I simply marveled at them and their Creator!

Here are a few pictures from my trip.


Get well flowers for my grandmother.

Here are some views from my  Great Grandmothers back porch.

                                        Me having a peaceful, thoughtful, time to myself.

                  The old camera!  That thing was so hard to make work!  But so much fun!

                                My Great Grandmother's hands, precious!

AND..... from time to time we have been baby-sitting some really wonderful, cute, fun children!  We ALL have had such fun with them!


                        2 year old Tobiah playing with some of his favorite toys we have...horses!

                                   Elijah and 5 year old Josiah playing a game.

                                                     6 year old Joelle and Elijah.

                                         3 year old Crosby having a nice wrestling game with Emma

                                                                     Cutie pies!

                                                                    Sweet little Crosby!

                                                                  Funny face time!!!!!

With this last picture Joelle did her best to take one of all of us at the house.....but as you can see no one wanted to have their picture taken!  But it turned out kinda cute anyhow!

So, there you have it.  Where I have been and what I have been up to!

It's been busy....but it's been great fun!

A few fun pictures!

                                             A well balanced diet....that's what I'm talking about!

                                                    And... tell me where are we again?

                                                                     Finger-zilla!

                                                You woke me up to tell me THAT!?!?

                          I dropped my glasses here some where.....I think.  Hey, is that a flying crab?

                                                     I am sure I left my boat here!

To celebrate my grandparents on my mom's side came down for a little ceremony and all around family fun!

Each graduate had a table to display some of their favorite things.  Mine consisted of many things. Such as, cooking stuff, Gods word, books, story's on CD, Winnie the Pooh, pictures of my family, and candles. 

It was lovely seeing so many of my friends and family all at once!  This is Miss Syble who had known me since I was a baby!  I was SO glad that she could come!

                                                                        Sweet friends!

Right now I am continuing learning at home, discipleship, homemaking, caring for children and soon to come church history under the instruction of my parents.   And under God's wise eyes as I continue to strive to serve Him and my family.  

To God be the Glory for ever and ever!  Amen!
