Give Thanks

This year I have decided to take Thanksgiving a little more serious and really reflect on BEING THANKFUL. Have you ever just sat down and thought about all we have here in America. Girls we live a DIVA life! Those of us who have a home, a nice warm bed with nice sheets, and food on the table , and a car we can just jump in and go where ever we need to go, a job , and the list goes on and on! What a MIGHTY God we serve! A God who loves us and provides for us and blesses us when we don't deserve it at all! The salvation in his name! These are just some things that the Holy Spirit spoke to me in these last few days.
He Loves us Oh, How he loves us so.....

So here are things I am THANKFUL for-
My Salvation in the Lord. Thankful he died on that cross for all of us!
My sweet Husband
My family - esp.. having wonderful parents
My church and their liberty in the Lord
My home and everything in it
My car
My little Texas coast town
My cool in laws
My job- I get to help people decorate their homes
My health

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

So this weekend we are headed to my parents house then off to the ranch! I am really excited we haven't been able to head up to the ranch in a while. I just love family time at the ranch. Everyone is going to be there too!
Things I love about the ranch:

  • The rolling hills
  • The Animals/ The Wildlife
  • The little cottage house
  • The campfires
  • Cooking outside
  • Watching the deer come up to the feeders from the house
  • The rocky roads
  • Sitting on the porch at night talking with family
  • Watch the night skies and stars
  • Going for a road up to the top of the hills
  • The changing trees this time of year
  • Everyone having to stay in close quarters
  • Admiring Gods creation
  • Its really chilli this time of year too ( I am from South Texas, I love the cold!)
  • Bird Watching

Give Thanks to the Lord!




Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:13



Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm100:4

God's Word Comes Alive

I want to see Beth Moore live!!!! I love her studies, she really helps bring Gods word alive!
One thing she said on this little video was this-
"We've got to change our hearts to change the way we feel, because we can NOT indifferently do the right thing. We have to come to the right place were we feel the RIGHt thing. "
"Nothing compares to God NOTHING! We were created for this adventure!"
AMEN!!
