Thanksgiving and Prayer

I have not stopped giving thanks for you

and remembering you in my prayers

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ

the glorious Father may give you the spirit,

of the wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened

in order that you may know the hope that which He has called you,

the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

The power is like the working of His mighty strength.

Amen.

- Ephesians 1:15-19

comforting thought....

Today in Cancun, Mexico it's 86 degrees. I'm not sure if this is a very nice fact, but it's just something to think about other than the wet, windy, cold, and cloudy weather here (I didn't put a picture up of the beach because that would just be cruel). Anyways, have a happy day! :)

shoe box party

Everyone with their shoe boxes!

How cute they're matching! :)

My shoebox for a 2-4 year old.

This week was our shoebox party with our home school group! We all get together and bring shoe boxes that we packed for Samaritans purse, and a food dish from a different country. Samaritans purse is a ministry who collects shoe boxes filled with toys and other needed items for children around the world that do not know about the love of Christ for them and they each are given a shoebox as a Christmas gift, good stuff. Thank you Mrs. Rothfuss and Mrs. Vogltanz for planning the shoe box party!

our wreath

Yesterday Elliot hung up our balsam wreath on the house. We all agree that it looks really nice!
Thanks Elliot you rock!

finished projects

the Range

Today we went to the shooting range that Dad joined. Dad enjoyed showing us how to shoot and explaining to us proper usage of guns. Not sure what guns I shot, but we had fun together. :D
Thanks Dad, you rock!

meeting veteran's

This Veterans day mom, Elliot and I made cards for 13 veteran's at Good Samaritan Nursing home. We were privileged to deliver each of the cards to the people that served. Elliot and Dad both enjoyed listening to their stories. I was very touched by how blessed the residence were to see us and to have a card from us too. One of the men that we talked to couldn't talk very well but was trying his hardest to say thank you, and another was very glad to have a card from us and said that he was "going to smack it up on his door so he could see it everyday". Thank you Lord for these opportunities everyday to be a light and share Your love to those around us!

Veteran's Day

Today is a day of remembrance for those who served for our county. We thank you for your sacrifice, and fighting for securing liberty for all. Thank you.
