The End?

Apparently I have run out of storage space here on my blog. Because I am to much of a pack rat to delete anything and because I am too cheap to buy storage space, this is the end. A very unexpected end. I will continue to post pictures on my facebook page. Thank you too everyone who enjoyed this blog! God bless!

Sweet Potatoes and Crunchy Leaves

I am so thankful for autumn! I love the smells and the sounds. The tastes and the sights! Soon the season of fall will seemingly be over as Christmas takes the center stage. I am happy with that! I wish that people would slow down and enjoy the last few autumn days. Save Christmas until after Thanksgiving. However, I am SO excited for Christmas. :) I have had to restrain myself from listening to Christmas music. So, take it slow. Enjoy these last few fall days before that mad merriment that is Christmas!

Sunday

I am thankful that the Lord gave us a day of rest. I don't know what I would do without a day to relax and rejuvenate for the rest of the week. I only wish Sunday lasted a little longer! ;-)

Real Friendship

I am thankful for those who are there to pick you up when you are down and for those who will carry you when you cannot make it any longer!

Creativity

I am thankful for God's creativity!

Cinnamon Apple Tea

I am thankful for Cinnamon Apple Tea!

2 Corinthians 12:9

I am thankful that God says: ''My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.''

Brown Eyed Girl

I am thankful for my littlest sister! She is a blessing sent from God! She brings so much joy and sunshine into the lives of those around her. Every day I thank the Lord for her!

Peace Like A River

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and hath shed his own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul.

Fences

I am thankful for God's rules. I view them as a fence that keeps me nice and safe. I know some feel boxed in or trapped by rules. However, I tend to like them. Then I know what is right. I don't have to guess. So, I am thankful God has laid them all out clearly for us in the Bible.

Mama and Papa

Today I am thankful for my Mom and Dad. Thank you for raising me to be who I am. Thank you for always loving me and supporting me in all I do. Thank you for being there whenever. I know our family isn't perfect, but it is the best family I could ask for! I love you both!

Mama, thank you for doing all the thankless jobs a mother has. Thank you for giving up your career so you could stay home with us kids. Thank you for your yummy food! Thank you for always seeing what I need help with before I ask. Thank you for showing me how to be a good mom someday.

Papa, thank you for working so hard every day. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make. Thank you for coming on youth group trips and being "Papa" to all of my friends too. Thank you for always coming to all of my plays and musicals and speeches and soccer games and programs and things, or texting and calling to ask about them if you couldn't get off work to be there.

I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

Friends!

I am walking out the door to stay the night at a friend's house and I realize I need to do a post real quick! I am thankful for Friends! This weekend I get to see 3 of my best friends who are away at college. And I get to see my fiance!  Most of all, I am thankful for the Friend we have in Jesus!

My Love!

In exactly two years I will be marrying my best friend! I am thankful that God arranged our lives so perfectly. I am thankful for everything my sweetheart does to take care of me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally!

Freedom

I am thankful for the freedom to worship God openly!

Amber Waves of Grain

I am thankful for the right to vote! It is such a privilege to be given the power to decide who rules our great nation! I think it is something that we take for granted, especially as we begin to get sick of all of the commercials and phone calls. Regardless of the outcome of tonight, I will be thankful that I have a voice. A voice equal to any other American.

Rain

I am thankful for this damp, cold weather. I am not even being sarcastic! I love the cold and we need rain, so I am thankful!

God's Love and Glory

Views like this just resound with the magnificence of our Savior! I am thankful that He who created this, loves me and created me! And even better than that, He died so I could live with Him forever!

Home

I was busy and on the go today! I am thankful to have a home to come back to. (Just to clarify- this picture is not of my house!)

Some Flowers Have an Unfading Beauty

This is my middle sister! I am inspired to be a better person because of who she is. Today I am being thankful that she is in my life!

The Month of Thanksgiving!

It is NOVEMBER! I cannot believe it! It is one of my favorite months. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and the anticipation of Christmas makes it a happy time! :)  I have decided to post with my picture one thing I am thankful for!

I am thankful for the warm sun on a chilly day.
