Can you see our priorities here? We really are thankful for the most basic things. I never knew that knives were so important, or dirt. Ha,Ha....
Just wanted to let you know that I am so thankful for Well EVERYTHING! I don't know where to start other than to say, I am thankful for my life, my family, my testimony of Jesus Christ as my Saviour, Health, A wonderful husband, a warm house, parents who taught me about everything they could, and last but not least, the ability to continue learning.
It never ceases to amaze me how much I don't know. How much I still have to learn, and how quickly I am able to learn when I listen to the teacher of all truth. When I am slow to follow, I have to ask myself Will I ever truly grasp the knowledge of the people of the earth? Past and present? Will I seek the easy road, or the blind side of the road, the road less traveled, or will I just attempt to stay on cruise control? Some days I hope the road is all downhill, and other days I am anxious for the climb, but always, I am thankful for my life, my testimony of Jesus Christ, and my chance to be here and let the Lord Lead me.
I love you ALL!! Happy Late Thanksgiving!

I love the kid's lists! I need to have my kiddos do that. What a great idea! Dirt is SO important!!!

I totally understand sometimes wanting the road to be downhill and other times wanting it to be brutal. Sometimes I feel really ready to push myself.
