Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm just going to start with the generic, "Happy Thanksgiving, folks!" and go from there. So, Happy Thanksgiving, folks! 

Some things I am especially thankful for this year are:

• My relationship with Jesus Christ, who will never leave me or forsake me, Who shows boundless grace and mercy to His children, Who will, by grace, save anyone who will call upon His name in repentance and faith.
• Freedom to worship freely without fear of persecution.
• Family members who love one another, flawed as we all are. Especially thankful for how much care they are showing to me while I'm recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out.
• My amazing sister-in-law and darling niece, who is growing up way too quickly.
• My wonderful girl friends who are like sisters is so many ways. All my other friends who are a huge blessing, and bring so much encouragement. 
• God keeping my siblings and mom safe in the accident earlier this year and for keeping everyone safe from harm.
• The opportunities I have to study at college and the various work opportunities. So many people are jobless and I have been blessed with more than one job opportunity. 

We had our Thanksgiving Dinner last Sunday, which I was able to enjoy as well, and today Munchette made a delicious-smelling breakfast which I am not able to have, but she was so kind to go to the store yesterday and buy me a bunch of mushy food that isn't just applesauce and pudding. As Americans, we aren't nearly as thankful as we should be for the little things such as food variety. 

And, before I conclude, here are some pictures:

The dance!

HB and I ready to head out. Unfortunately, we don't have good pictures yet, but I am so thankful we are able to document these special memories at all. 

So thankful for a healthy, happy, and adorable niece! She's already learning to walk!

Colossians 3:15-17, " Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
