Gratitude Friday


Taking the idea from my dear friend Lisa, I am going to make Friday...Gratitude Friday. To make a list of five things that I am thankful for...


1. My dear Caleb trying to recite the fruits of the spirit scripture (Galatians 5:22) by memory.


2. My faithful husband taking out the trash all the way down the driveway in the rain in his dress clothes before he went to work.


3. Judah scrunching his nose up and squinting his eyes when he laughs.


4. My mother-in-law and father-in-law taking William for the night and morning to give mommy a needed break from my ball of fire!


5. My Lord and Saviour...he is so faithful and loving...I am so grateful, excited, and full of hope of what he has for me in the rest of the year. Without tests we don't have a testimony...they only make us stronger. I was talking to Matt the other night about how we believed that this would be "our year..." and the Lord has been so faithful to that. We are stronger, and more full of him than ever and we are in a place of continuing to see all these amazing things come before us. Even through the trials, where he totally gets all the glory!


Take some time out to remember all the little and big things that you are grateful for!

I am grateful for the beautiful gift that God gave me in my wife. She is my best friend, my lover and a wonderful mother to my children. I am so grateful that she is in my life. She keeps me encouraged, pushes me deeper in my realtionship with the Lord, and lifts me in times of doubt. I love her with every fiber of my being.

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
