Thankfulness

As we approach Thanksgiving. I am reminded of so many things that I am thankful for. The list could go on and on but I will share a few of those things with you.

1. I am thankful for my Lord and Savior. Without Him I truly would be nothing. I am thankful that He chose to save me - a wretched sinner - to redeem and call His own. Thanks be to the Father for His works of mercy and grace in my life.

2. I am thankful for my husband. What a wonderful, godly man the Father has put into my life. He washes me in the water of the Word daily and is such a blessing to my life. I love you, Brian!

3. I am thankful for my children. Not everyone has the opportunity to be blessed with the gift of children. I am thankful to the Father that he gave me the opportunity to be a mother of my three precious girls.

4. I am ever so thankful for my church family and pastor. Week after week our pastor gets up unashamedly, without fail and preaches the Word of God. My church family encourage, loves and prays for me and my family. Praise be to God for leading us to Millbrook Presbyterian.

5. This year I am most thankful for the gift of health that the Father has bestowed upon our family. I am thankful that he chose to spare my sweet daughters life. I am also thankful that with the help of doctors we were able to diagnose my heart problems. I am thankful that those problems are not life threatening.

These are just a few things that I am thankful for. Again, the list could go on and on. I pray that this year, you may sit back and be reminded of what all you are thankful for as well.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Fall 2009

It has been a while since our last post. We have been extremely busy over the last several months.

November welcomes us with a new family member. Its official - we have a new brother-in-law. We are thankful to the Father for his goodness in allowing Doug and Jenna (Brian's sister) to become husband and wife.

Brian continues to work at BB&T (formerly Colonial Bank). The future is still a little unsettling for us but we are trusting that the Father will work out the details. We are learning to "lean on the everlasting arms" Brian also continues to work with our Junior High students at church teaching them on Wednesday eves. He also teaches Sunday School on occasion and fills in around the church as needed.

Michelle is busy, busy, busy. She is taking care of our three girls and running her own business. She is very involved at our church. She also is teaching our children how to love the Lord, serve Him with gladness and how to be a godly woman.

Emma Kate is in K4 and is starting to read. She has done quite well this year in school. She loves to dance, put on plays, sing, dress up and play outside. She loves her sisters dearly and is a great big sister.

Caroline is full of energy and life. She loves to sing, dress up, play outside and read. She is sometimes quiet but will come out of her shell on occasion and make you laugh and smile. She too loves her sisters dearly.

Maggie Ann is pulling up, cruising the furniture and crawling everywhere. We can not keep her in one place! She loves to watch her sisters put on plays, loves to be outside and loves to chew on things (that is what you get when you are teething I guess). She is growing so fast.

I guess that about sums it up for now. I will try not to wait so long until the next post.

Until next time.........
