More fall family pictures

As I sit and look at these amazing pictures, with Thanksgiving coming upon us so quickly, I am reminded of how good God has been to me. I am so thankful for a godly, wonderful husband who loved not only me, but also my (now our) 3 children who were nothing more than babies. What an amazing man to take on the responsiblity of husband and daddy to 3 all at the same time! Now we have also added 3 more children to this family and he loves them all just the same. He is a wonderful daddy for which I am very thankful!

I am also very thankful for the children the Lord has blessed us with! There are so many families who are not able to have children or have many complications with pregnancies. I have been very fortunate with easy pregnancies and deliveries and I am very thankful for that. The Bible says that children are an heritage of the Lord and sometimes I just don't understand how anyone could say NO to a blessing from the Lord. I mean, could you imagine the Lord saying "Here's your blessing" (speaking of a child) and you turn and say "No, thanks". My children are my blessing and I am very thankful for them. My prayer for each of them is to grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want them to be used of the Lord in whatever field they desire to pursue as they get older.

I am also thankful for my parents who brought me up to know and love the Lord. I could never thank them enough for what they instilled in me as a child; a love for our Lord, for missionaries and for the church. Thank you mom and dad for always being strong in the Lord no matter your circumstances. It made a difference in my life and in the lives of our children,

your grandchildren!
I am thankful the Lord allowed us to move here and be a part of Temple Baptist Church. We feel like we are living in a dream. This place is still so amazing to us and we love it here. We love Pastor and Mrs. Sexton and are thankful for their stand on the Word and for their love for us. We are also thankful for Temple Baptist Academy and how priviledged we feel to have our kids in this wonderful place. Thank you to all the teachers who put in countless hours for the benefit of our children. You are all amazing and we love you.

I am also thankful for friends. My husband is my best friend, but I also have some wonderful friends here and abroad who I am very thankful for. They know how to lift me up and encourage me in the Lord. I pray I am a blessing to them as well!

I am also very thankful for salvation for without that I would be lost and on my way to an eternal Hell. Thank you Lord for dying on the cross to save my soul!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.As the world looks upon as I struggle along. They say I have nothing, but they are so wrong. In my heart, I'm rejoicing how I wish they would see. Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on me.
There's a roof up above me, I've a good place to sleep. There's food on my table, and shoes on my feet. You gave me your love Lord, and a fine family. Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me.
Now I know that I'm not wealthy, and these clothes are not new. No, I don't have much money, but Lord I have you. And to me, that's all that matters, though the world may not see. Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. May we all remember the Lord's goodness and we will all have plenty to be thankful for!!!
