Pre-Thanksgiving Blessings

I know that tomorrow is Thanksgiving but I figured everyone is going to be busy cooking and getting ready for the family thing so I wanted to post this today. I just wanted to tell you of a few things I am thankful for this year.

First off I am thankful I am saved. That Jesus died on the cross for me. Even though I didn't deserve it he did it because he loves me WOW...what a thought.

Next is my family. Two wonderful parents who showed me the most love a child could ask for. This past year we have had some trying times but by the grace of God my mother is much better and my sister is getting along very well.

My wonderful husband and children. The Lord truly blessed me with a wonderful man who loves the Lord and is my best friend. My children, well what can I say about them only that I know they are a gift from God and I am so thankful that he choose me to be there mother.

My Church and Church Family. It is a wonderful feeling to know that so many people at our church care about you. When your not there you are missed and they let you know it. A pastor who really cares about his church and always does what is best for the them. The Lord has truly blessed us there and I hope the work we do there in the name of the Lord continues on this new year coming up.

My wonderful Friends. They say you can tell how a person is by the number of friends they have. Well, I don't know about all that but I do know that I have been blessed with an abundance of friends. Some I have had for all my life and some just have come in life this past year. But each one has brought something extra special in life and for that I am blessed.

Well, I could go on and on but I know your probably tired of all the reading by now so I will close with this one last thought...

Wordless Wed....Sorta

Family Trip to Wal-Mart.....

We Survived the Dentist

Well, Julie survived her dentist appointment today. She got two little baby teeth pulled and one little filling and she actually lived through it. I know it's not suppose to be that bad but she is petrified of the dentist and really who isn't?? If your honest with yourself the dentist is not any one's favorite person. At least not mine or Julie's.
She was so funny this morning. She was waiting with me here at work until her appointment and when I got back to work (after it was all done and over with and she was at home trying to eat....)I found a little sticky note she left on my desk that said "OMG...I'm going to die. If I do, I love you all!!! signed Julie Renee. I'm sorry but that was so funny because when she came out from the back (at the dentist office) she was like...hey I wasn't scared...it wasn't that bad. I didn't feel a thing. WOW...The only thing she was concerned about was her face being numb and she couldn't feel her nose...Go figure...Then she was going to try to drink some drink and it was running down her face and she didn't even feel it...So funny..I should have taken a picture of her and shared with you.
Anyway first round is over and she is good until Dec. for a small filling and a cleaning. WHEW!!! Glad that's over

What Does Your Favorite Candy Say About You?

What Your Love of Peanut Butter Cups Says About You

You are hedonistic... sometimes to the point of being greedy. You love to eat, and there's no chance you're sharing your candy! While you may be greedy, it's with good reason. You have great taste. The things you love are worth loving, and it's no wonder you crave them.

What Does Your Favorite Candy Say About You?

WOW!!! I just can't get away from this greedy thing. I thought long and hard before I answered and said to myself which one would NOT be greedy because the last test I took (the sock test) said I was greedy and by george I did it again. I'm just going to stop doing these....hehe!!!
