Virginia Beach

Hello from beautiful Virginia Beach. We have been here for a week now. Randy and I have had a wonderful time with our daughter, Sarah. Sarah and her friend Greg had moved here in April, so we hadn't got to see her for a while. Fortunately we were able to stay at Sarah's. We kicked her out of her room :) but we brought an air mattress for her.

We saw several sites here. Last night we went to the beach and saw the Christmas lights. Awesome!

Randy and I are heading home this morning. It is a 13 hour drive, so we will probably do it in two days.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and you were able to sit back, relax, and count your blessings. I know we have so many. Now all the hustle and bustle starts. Please do not forget why we celebrate the season. Merry Christmas.

Thankful

As we come into the Thanksgiving season, I have seen several posts on Facebook about things people are thankful for.  Like them, I have many things to be thankful for.  Here are just a few.

• Number 1 will always be I am thankful for the Grace of God and what He has done for me.  He sent His Son because He loves me.  He loves me.  I just can't get over that.
• I am thankful for my parents and for giving me a faith based up bringing.
• I am thankful for my husband.  Even though times have been up and down, he has always been there and loved me.
• I am thankful for my children.  What great kids God has given me and Randy.  They are more than I could have ever dreamed my children would grow up to be.  I love them both.

There are so many things that I could go on for hours and never mention them all.  Most importantly is the Love of God.  Because without Him, I would be nothing, and I would have nothing.  He gives meaning to my life and the life of my family.  I can only hope that I have and will continue to be half the person He expects me to be.  I am unworthy of His love but most graciously thankful.

I want to share with you some of the photo brag books I have been making.  I know I have shared a few with you previously, but wanted to let you know that I am selling them.  These would make great gifts.  Just add your pictures to them and your parents or grandparents would be thrilled to get this to brag about their grandchildren.  If you are interested or know someone who might be, contact me by email and I will get in touch with you.

This album is a 5x7 and has space for 41 photos.  Great for a teenage girl to put pictures of her friends in.  The cost of this album is $35 + shipping.

This next brag book is 4x6.  A scrapbook for any occasion.  There are places for 54 photos.  The price is $30.

 

Be thankful for all that you have.  James 1:17 says "Every good and perfect gift is from above."
