To Be Thankful...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it's easy to be in a thankful state of mind. For most, this time of year lends itself to gratitude and joy. I know I have a lot to be thankful for this season. The health, safety and love of my family. My husband's job and constant provision from the Lord. Spiritual life....just to name a few.

But what about the rest of the year? What about when my children are sick? What about when the bills are more than the paycheck? What about the times depression or heartache rule?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us to "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

As the holidays approach and quickly depart, let us be mindful of these verses. Let us remember that Jesus is all we need. Our joy and peace are found in Him alone. All the other things we are grateful for this year are good gifts from our Father, above and beyond what we need to obey the urgent command in 1 Thessalonians.

Blessings to you this Thanksgiving!

Life in High Speed...but not internet

The title sums it up.

For the past 6 weeks we have been staying with my parents while we wait for our new home to be ready. It has been wonderful! I'm so thankful for my parents! Dial-up Internet, not so much! :)

Things are moving at warp speed it seems. I only have 3 weeks of class left at APSU. I was officially accepted into the nursing program at Hopkinsville CC, so I will be transferring there in January to finish up my degree! Thanksgiving is upon us and Christmas soon to follow.

Our little family is BLESSED! I'm sorry blogging has been sparse. I look forward to beginning again when we are settled in the new house. Until then...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
