Thankfulness

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thanksgiving 2011, in our home.

I wanted to write briefly about a couple of things I am thankful for...

1. Salvation, and the opportunity to hold God's Word in my hands without fear or persecution.

2. My church, my pastors, and my church family! I love you all.

3. My family. They are such a blessing to me in countless ways! I'm so glad most of us live close to each other!

4. My friends. They encourage and set a godly example for me, and I love them...

5. My spiritual growth. I feel that I have grown in many ways this year, and I am grateful to God for His patience in teaching me.

6. Good health!

7.  My cello, my orchestra, and my cello teacher! I absolutely love music, and it has been so fulfilling to be able to play and master the cello, and I could not improve at the rate I am without HOST Orchestra and my teacher, Emmie!

8. My barn and my riding teacher. Nothing like riding a horse in the early morning or jumping fences! Odessa is such a wonderful teacher, and I'm so grateful for her patient teaching.

9. Little people to cuddle and kiss...

10. Sunshine, and warm weather! It looks like it's going to be a balmy 70 degrees at our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow.

In the Woods with Hannah Jane

Good afternoon, everyone!

On the same day that I took pictures of Allie in the woods (see that post here), she took pictures of me, with two of my passions: my cello and my camera. It was a lovely day!



Ahh... the romance of playing your instrument in the middle of a forest.



See you next week!

An Encouraging Word


But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. ~ James 1:22-25


Happy November, everyone! See you next week...
