Thankful
We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!! God is so good to us, we have so much to be thankful for.
One of my specific prayer requests this year was, for the Lord to allow me to cook for my family and enjoy it! and..
HE ANSWERED MY PRAYER!!
We had our Niece here on Wednesday night and Thursday( however she did get sick- don't think it was my cooking :) ) ( she is better now)
Steve's brother and family came up to eat dinner with us and visit awhile, we had such a good time having them in our home. We love you guys!!!
The girls helped cook the meal, and let me tell ya they can throw down y'all.. FOR REAL!!
Shania made THESE DELICIOUS ROLLS . She also made from scratch pie crusts and they were DELICIOUS as well. She made two pumpkin, an apple, and cherry pie. YUMMY!!!
Amy helped out on the potato's and Shania whisked up the gravy( from the turkey's droplets) We threw down a Turkey, Spiral sliced ham, fried sweet potato's, Stuffing, Sweet potato souffle( didn't get it done till later, I was tuckering out at this point) and we forgot to put out Grandma's cranberry salad( slips my mind if I missed anything)I had a cranberry recipe I wanted to try, but again I was D-O-N-E.. lol. Was time to eat.
We REALLY enjoyed having David and Lisa here ( Missed you Doug)
They really encouraged our hearts by coming to spend some time with us.
Truly is such a blessing.
Steve has been covering for the guy that works opposite of him, but we were thankful Jesus helped him to get done at a decent time to be home to enjoy the rest of Thanksgiving Day!!
I am thankful for MANY things, most of all, Salvation, to know I have been redeemed!
My family!! I have the BEST husband in all the land, he is so good to me, such a great father, and strong spiritual leader in our home!!
Thankful the good Lord blessed us with another year to be together, to grow closer to Jesus and serve others!!
It is SUCH a beautiful day today!! We have the windows open and a nice breeze is blowing through.. hmmm.. makes me have the urge to CLEAN and start dragging out the Christmas decorations!!
Yes indeed that sounds tempting..
I will upload and post a few pictures of our celebration, might get it done today.
Trust you all had a wonderful time of being thankful, and have a blessed weekend.

Emotional
I know, it is no BIG surprise that I would be emotional.
I am not grieving.. I don't think... Just can not believe how time flies by, and hit with the realization....
my time to shape and mold, influence, and lead, our lil girl is heading into a whole other phaze ( yes you read the word right- inside thing)
Have I done enough? Am I doing enough? Will it be enough?
I know these are all questions mothers ask themselves about their children.
I am most grateful that Jesus commands their destiny.
And I am blessed to say I get to go through these same emotions two more times :)
So I probably will not have time to post much more then a few pictures from my phone( love mobile blogging) So wanted to say a few things about and to our Shy gurl!!
Happy Happy 15th Birthday baby girl!! Daddy and Mama are SO VERY proud of you!!
How blessed we are to call you our daughter!! You simply amaze us!!
Thank you for keeping such a sweet spirit, even in times it was very difficult to do so.
Thank you, for praying, staying steady and strong in your walk with the Lord.
No you have not said anything, but I have watched as you quietly slip away to go spend some time with HIM.
Thank you, for being such a strong, courageous, and gentle mentor for your sisters.
Thank you, for stepping up and assuming a role that was never asked of you, but you did it anyway, because you love your family.
Thank you for the countless hours of serving us, your family in so many ways.
Thank you, for the late night massages, they have become a special part of our relationship.
I love the long talks, listening to your dreams, your hopes, your heart.
I am honored that you share so openly.
Thank you, for being willing to do the unpopular thing, even when it meant you were not voted the coolest friend to have.
Jesus never took His eyes off of your hearts intent for a second, and has honored you because of it.
I am proud of you for digging into who God is and searching His will for your life at this age.
We are so blessed by your giving spirit. You never hesitate to have your families back..
SO I hope on this your Fifteenth Birthday, you know how much you are LOVED!!!
I pray the Lord continues to lead you, honor you, and molds you, into the beautiful plan HE has written for you from before the foundations of the world were ever created.
You baby girl are written in the palm of HIS almighty hand and He does have a purpose and plan for your life.
This mama's heart is full, but so thankful that the good Lord has blessed us with another year to grow and love one another through HIS strength and might!!
Reach for the stars baby, but don't forget who made those stars,
store up your treasures in Heaven,
and never stop loving, no matter how hard it hurts.
Hold your head up high,
be confident in who GOD created you to be,
strive to be all HE has planned for you to be.
Never let the enemy trick you into giving that up,
or compromising for the fleeting moments of temporal pleasures.
Keep an eternal perspective,
one hand in Jesus' and His word in the other.
Walk on in faith,
through every trial,
every battle,
every situation.
Trusting that GOD doth all things well,
and one day
IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL!!!
Love always and forever, Mama

Psalm 146
Praise the Lord! While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. The Lord shall reign forever Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
