Family picture!!

 So, this past thanksgiving we were all at my aunt and uncle's house in Battle Creek. My relatives from Georgia and Florida came up for the holiday as well so we all decided to do a big family picture. There are one or two missing, but it is pretty rare these days to get everyone together all at once.




Here is one of just our family.. notice Andrew has moved over so the little baby bump can be seen on Cherise.




I hope and pray you all had a blessed thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving

It is that time of year again where we gather together with family and friends and give thanks to the Lord for the many blessings He has given us. As I think back on the year since last thanksgiving, there are many things which I am grateful for and feel privileged God felt it me worthy enough to have such blessings.
Things I am thankful for:
  • Ian (my boyfriend)
  • My family
  • My friends
  • My house
  • A job
  • Life
  • Freedom of Religion
  • Men gifted by God to bring the gospel to us every Sunday
And there is so much more that I could add but I think this summarizes it all. So much goes on in one year, I challenge you all to take time today and every day to give thanks to God for all the blessings He has given you.

On another note, the tickets have been booked!!! I leave with Ian December 26 for Scotland for 3 weeks. Recently I looked at the calendar and realized that is in 5 weeks! My how time flies, one of my residents at the nursing home i work at explained it this way "the older you get the shorter the years seem". But remember out time on this earth is only but a moment compared to the eternity we will spend after death which is only a passage from this life into life eternal for those of us who have chosen to follow the Lord! What a day that will be!

I wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving!
