A lot to be thankful for.....

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever." Psalm 136:1

I just wanted to share all that I am thankful for and give God all the glory for it.

Thank you Lord for saving me, for making a way for us to know You. For my family and that I was raised in church. Thank you for Your word, that we have access to it and it is not forbidden in our country. Thank you for our warm home, more than enough food to eat, more than enough clothes to wear, for cars that run well. Thank you for aaron's job, that he finds fulfillment in it and that he can earn money for our family. Thank you that I am able to stay at home with Braelyn, that she is healthy and full of life. Thank you for our health, that we have access to doctors and medicines. Thank you for you Holy Spirit, our helper. Thank you for friends that encourage and push us closer to You. Thank you for allowing us to see you answer prayers. Thank you Lord for leading us to a church home here in Bristol. thank you for putting mature believers in our lives to show us how to live and encourage us when we struggle. thank you for prayer, that we can approach you with confidence, knowing you will give us grace to help us in our time of need. thank you Lord for pastors who are not afraid to preach your truth and who challenge us and teach us. thank you Lord for blessing us financially so that we can be a blessing to others for Your glory. Thank you Lord for the freedoms we have in our country, that we can worship you in freedom every Sunday without fear of persecution. thank you Lord for your unfailing, unconditional love for us. thank you Lord for caring about us, for being patient with us, for drawing us to Yourself. You are wonderful Lord. You are worthy of our praise. You are worthy of our lives.

"One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts."

More Fall Fun & Halloween

Still celebrating fall here in Bristol. I was so excited to get some pictures of Braelyn in the leaves. This is at the park beside our house. It was so beautiful. Most of the leaves are falling now :(. But hey, on my way home tonight I saw THREE houses with Christmas lights on!!!! I was shocked! Yes, today is November 7. And I was shopping today and there were people everywhere. It was like we just skipped November completely and it's Dec or something? Crazy. Braelyn had a good Halloween. She was a Pumpkin during the day and then we tried out the Tigger costume. I think she really enjoyed it. She enjoyed seeing the kids come to the door for candy all dressed up. And by the end she was wanting to help put candy in their buckets. Recently, her new favorite thing is to help me unload the dryer :), which actually makes doing laundry a lot more fun. I don't even have to bend over to unload the clean clothes anymore. We will have to try to put a video up of that. And I guess the tigger costume was appropriate because now she is trying to learn how to jump. It's so cute.....she bends down and then stands up real fast and gets excited! Oh, she is just cracking me up everyday with something new. We are so blessed.









Most of the time, she prefers to ride this sitting on it backwards :). And going backwards.
