I’m so thankful this week for many things…

2) Photos of grandchildren, shared by their parents
3) Caring friends
4) Work to do
5) My vehicle
6) Moody Christian Radio
7) My copy of the Bible
8) My new washer and dryer
9) My family

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever."


1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

...

Little things left behind...

One tiny little sock...
one pink and white pacifier...
one blue bottle brush...

I have to admit, I love my little collection. : )

While the grandchildren were here visiting (Megan came at Thanksgiving, and Austin came at Christmas)... we had such good times. I loved holding the babies, smelling their hair, and kissing their toes. And I even enjoyed their crying and diaper changes.

It's all so exciting! Having grandchildren is so much more than we expected... and so much more than we could have imagined. Mike and I were so thrilled to anticipate their coming, but our feelings now simply cannot be described. All I can say is...

We have

GRANDCHILDREN !

Thankful Thursday

...

I have been keeping a Thankful List for a couple of years now, and this is a continuation of that list...

On this day, I am very thankful that there is a God, and that He has made Himself known to me. I am thankful that He has a plan for me, and that He sent His Only Begottten Son to pay the price for my sin. I am thankful for forgiveness in Him.

I’m also thankful for:
1. Friends who will pray for me - supporting me in the best way possible
2. A son living at home with me - giving me purpose while my husband travels.
3. A home to live in - keeping us warm and dry, and so much more
4. My view through our fence - a neighbor’s holly bush has berries that are still bright red and quite beautiful
5. The Entrekin family who came to my rescue Monday morning - the four of them helped get David into our van and headed to the ER quickly
6. David’s diagnosis of “just” a UTI, and not something more serious
7. My children and grandchildren - giving me so much JOY

"Give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. "

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Missing in Action

I know. I've been missing in action. I've been away from almost everything , not just my blogging. Wanna see the reason why? : )

Take a look at these two beautiful grandchildren of mine - that ought to explain it!!! : )





My grandchildren are 2 1/2 months old now!
I was blessed when my pretty little granddaughter Megan came to visit me for Thanksgiving!
And I was blessed again a month later when my active little grandson Austin came to visit me for Christmas! Oh what JOY!
