BEING THANKFUL!!!!

Last night at the ladies dinner "Thankmas" I had such a wonderful time! Melanie spoke and her words got me to thanking. She spoke on giving thanks for even the little things. Like your cup of coffee in the morning, sticky notes etc.......

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I started thinking what was I thankful for. First thing that came to my mind was my family, but i knew she was speaking of even smaller things. Like having a laundry room! So I started thinking, even though I am thankful for my cup of coffee there was more.
I know every morning on my drive to work I enjoy the sunrise, and I often have said, Lord thank you for a beautiful start of my day! The sunrise has always been special to me. When I was a little girl my dad would tell me,"Get up sweety, the sun cant rise until you do." For the longest time I believed that the sun would not come up unless I got up. One morning when I was looking at the beautiful sunrise before me, I realized that my heavenly father was saying the same thing. Only his words were I made this sunrise just for you! Boy! was the rest of my day good.
Thanks Melanie for making me think on these things. Thanks Dad for letting me see how loved I am by you and by my heavenly Daddy.

I have been thinking about this election and our new President Elect. Where I was not happy about Mr. Obama winning I knew that all of this is in Gods hands and planning.

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." Romans 13:1

He has been placed in leadership and authority by God. Now we are to pray for him . I am praying for Mr Obama and for America now is the time that Believers need to get on there knees and pray.

God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews13:5
I have all my life leaned on this scripture. It is so true, no matter what happens or who is elected President of the United States of America. God is still there and in control.

I love you Lord Jesus, and I thank you for loving me

being thankful

I can't believe it already is November! We are coming into my favorite time of year. It starts off with Thanksgiving and follows all the way through the new year. It is a time to be thankful for all the Lord has supplied and a time to be grateful for Jesus birth and ressurection. Lets not forget why we are blessed. Keep God in the equation and we can walk through all things. Dont forget I dont only love you but I like you.

As I think about what God has blessed me with, I am humbled! He has given me a family who loves me unconditionally. This day at the park was one of those days, we took in the beauty of the day with family and close friends. My new best friends Josh & Paige Martin and their girls, and 2 of our kids. The Martins have become a wonderful part of our lives this year. God has also blessed Dave and I with a daughter in-law. Anthony who was married 08/02/2008 to Whitney, we are very happy to have her in our lives. Almost at the same time Rachael and Aaron has started dating. Michael and Ashley are now are seen hanging out with us. That is Michael in the picture. You will be seeing more pictures including Ashley in the near future. I am blessed beyond measure. Thank you God for all you have done.
