Thankful

for a husband who fights for my heart. for our marriage. for time with me

for a man that provides for me

for kids who are growing in understanding of truth 

for a church where friends are family. where truth is taught by example. where worship is more than songs

for friends who love me enough to gently correct and encourage. and share coffee. and vacation with

for a Godly family heritage to pass along to another generation

for sisters passionate for Jesus

for struggles that reveal my weakness so I lean more on my Savior's strength

for a country that began with prayer and fasting and confession

for a God who in his very being defines love and everything good and right

Thanksgiving Photos

It was a quiet Thanksgiving in Waconia, where the fire was warm,

the games were fun, and the house was filled with music.

Enjoying the fire

Playing Spoons- Kids loved it!I had to have Robb take a picture of me, since I'm always behind the camera!

Girls play uke. (Madison dressed herself...can you tell?)
