Thanksgiving Message

Ok, so maybe I am getting older, or I am just getting more sentimental. I just wanted to express just how thankful I am this Thanksgiving. It overwhelms me to know exactly how God blesses me everyday. He has blessed me with a wonderful husband for whom I will be eternally grateful. I never knew that I would be this blessed. I am thankful for my family that means so much to me. For those that know me, you all know how close I am to my Mama and Daddy. I have said before that I don't know why God blessed me with them, but I sure am glad He did.

Not only has he blessed me with such wonderful parents, but He has blessed me with great in-laws.

He also blessed me with two sister-in-laws, a brother-in-law, and a precious neice and nephew. In Sunday School this past Sunday someone asked if you had brothers or sisters. Well, being an only child, I didn't raise my hand. But, my youngest sister-in-law looked at me and said, "yes you do. you have two sisters." I don't think that she will know how much that meant to me.

I have also been blessed with wonderful cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. I only have a picture of my cousins. Sorry. Bryan's family has been wonderful to me ever since we got married. I could go on and on about the countless blessings that my family and friends have been to me, but I have probably bored you enough. I do have wonderful friends. (Sorry, don't have a picture I can upload quickly). I pray that each of you finds time to reflect on what your family and friends mean to you this holiday season. I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with warm yummy goodness.

Prayer Request

I have a prayer request for all those that read this blog. Debbie Moltz, a lady at Highland Street Church of Christ, is suffering from cancer. Suffering doesn't even seem to cover what this amazing woman for God is going through. The following is her blogspot, www.moltz.blogspot.com You will be able to keep up with Debbie's condition through this site. Thank you all for your prayers.

God is so Good

Thank you so much for praying for my dad. He is doing awesome. Two stents were placed in him today. Prayerfully this will work this time. Thanks again for praying.

Wonderful Parents

(Ok. So this isn't the most recent picture. :) )

Proverbs says that "Parents are the pride of their children." Well, I can honestly say that my parents make me proud. I have been blessed with the most wonderful set of parents a girl could have asked for. I am awed by the fact that God chose these two wonderful people to be my parents.

I have a special prayer request from all who are reading this. My daddy goes in tomorrow for a heart stent. This is a pretty easy procedure most of the time. His is going to be done in the back of his heart at a branch off one of his vessels. He had quadruple bypass two years ago, and all but one of those are now clogged. He along with my mom are such amazing people for God. Please pray for the doctors and staff that they will be careful with daddy. And pray for peace with my mom. For anyone that knows them, they are riots and amazing to be around. There is never a dull moment. One of my dad's favorite passages of scripture is Psalm 30, which he calls the "Let's Dance" verse. "You turned my wailing into dancing...."

Thank you so much for your prayers.
