Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving.

 

I about forgot to include Thanksgiving. The day we

are supposed to reflect on all of our many blessings

and it is almost always the day I am so quick to

forget.  (shaking my head) shame shame

I like to think that it is because I

feel blessed and thankful for what

God has given us every day.

I don't just use the one day to thank God

for such a rich simple life, but start

out daily prayers with thank you's.

With all the 'wants' in this life

it seems like most are so quick to

overlook what they already have. 

We are rich beyond measure and it has

absolutely nothing to do with money.  

I managed to get a phone pic out of these monkeys

while over at Mimi's house on Thanksgiving day..

and then later that evening at home,

we were playing around and they had buried Jon

in the covers and piled up on top of him.

They were giggling so hard thinking it was

soooo hilarious that they had sat on top of

him for the picture.  

... and they decided to let him up for the next one.

Boyz!

Thank you God for loving us and for sending your son

to die on the cross for our sins. Thank you for meeting our

needs on a daily basis. Thank you for humble

hearts and we strive to serve others more so than

ourselves and we pray that we can teach this

to Kellen and help Jaxson realize it as well.

Thank you thank you thank you !
