So I'm new at this. I will try to be dedicated to it. I think it's genius. It's kind of like a diary for the public to read and judge! ha. Realistically, who is going to read this beside my mom and sister!?! But I have been so blessed by people giving their advice through random blogs, so MAYBE I might be able to bless others. With a house as exciting as mine, I'm sure SOMEBODY can relate! :-)
Tonight we had our church over for thanksgiving fellowship. I just really love my church family. This holiday is extra appropriate for my feelings for them. Oh. So. Thankful. :-)
Tomorrow my family is coming over to enjoy our first thanksgiving at our new house. I love food so much. I have a feeling A LOT of my blogs are going to be centered around food. Yikes. But more than food, I am so thankful for my amazing family. My selfless mother who always thinks of others before herself. My sweet Grandma who is so precious. My amazing, strong, beautiful sister who I can't imagine living without. My gentle brother-in-law who has such a unique relationship with his nieces and nephews. My hunky hunky husband who is perfect for me. God knew my needs, and made a partner just right for me. He won't read this blog, but I will brag on him constantly. My kind-spirited, gentle daughter Abigial. My handsome and kind boy Jude. My independant and argumentative, fun-loving son Micah. And my precious, happy, sweet daughter Annalie. WOW! After writing all that, I hardly did any of them justice, but it reminds me of HOW INCREDIBLY BLESSED I AM!
More than anything, I am thankful for my right standing with a holy and perfect God, through His son Jesus. I am thankful that my sins are counted as clean. I am considered holy, though I am made from dust. That He has given us access to His throne daily- through His word, prayer, and relationships. He is my ABBA. My all. My life is a living sacrifice to Him, whom ALL GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE is deserved. Forever and ever. :-)
happy thanksgiving.
