Thanksgiving Blessings

I am so thankful for all my Family and Friends and I pray that in the coming year we Will all remember what is important....God, Family, Friends, Health, having peace in our hearts/Soul,being grateful for all things BIG and SMALL. And the things that we need to remember that are not...bitterness, anger, jealousy,resentment, that list could go on and on right!

There is nothing that I am more thankful for than my salvation for without that there would be no hope, there would be no future. God reminds me everyday how much He loves me. When I look at my precious C.J. and my heart fills with so much love and I know that I would REALLY die for him, that is how Christ felt when He made that incredible sacrifice on the cross for us. There is nothing that I should not be willing to sacrifice for Him!

I hope you enjoy the following message from Beth Moore's blog that I found on a friends FB. It really touched me and I hope it does you as well.....


From Beth Moore's Blog...
"I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus. For you were made rich in every way in Him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledge (dig Paul's inspired concept of real riches! these riches are already yours! claim them and put them to use!) - just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you - so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. GOD IS FAITHFUL, by whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 NET

We are rich in every way.
Nothing makes us richer than the knowledge of Christ and the everyday-speech to share it with a hurting, wandering soul.
We do not lack a single spiritual gift we need to fulfill our destiny.
We will be strengthened by God to the very end then we will flat-out see Jesus.
He will never - not ever - be unfaithful to us.

Yep. That makes for a mighty happy Thanksgiving. Do not under any circumstance let Satan steal your joy and your gratitude today. Get down on the floor of the bathroom at your relative's house if you have to and grab it back in Jesus' Name. Give not one inch to your betrayer nor trust his lying tongue. Love the Truth today more than your turkey and dressing and gratitude will flood your heart.

Dollywood with special friends!

C.J. at 2 years old with Uncle Jake

I had to post this picture of C.J. when he was two. It is just the sweetest picture of him. I so miss him being that small! It wasn't until he turned three that people stoped thinking he was a girl. I didn't mind though in the least!

Happy Halloween

What a fun night! Poppy, B.B. and Uncle Jake came by on their way out to see C.J.. B.B. is so great at gift giving and Halloween is no exception. C.J. was so excited to see them. Then, before we left to go to friends, I let C.J. go over to our Neighbors who were eagerly expecting his visit. They both were VERY creative and our one neighbor, who meant to look like a wizard, looked more like Moses and that was okay by me!

C.J. looked so cute as a clown. I had a little nose I wanted him to wear but he would have none of that..even trying to get him to wear a hat is not easy at all...actually impossible:) I wanted him to be something really sweet this year. It's so hard watching them grow up and starting next year who knows what he may want to be..tonight he was still our sweet little 4 year old boy.

We then headed to Moe's for a quick dinner, they know C.J. and I by name there,before heading to our good friends house, the Chaney's. We had such a good time and C.J. just had a blast hanging with his best buddy Kedric...this maybe our NEW Family tradition unless anyone wants to do a fun Hay ride next year...let us know! Hope everyone had a fun BUT safe night....can't wait for next year.

99 Ballons...get the tissue out!!!

This video is so amazing! I have seen it a few times and every time it makes me cry. The parents were on Oprah yesterday and the Parents said they are expecting their second child in a few weeks. The one thing that the Mom said was she refused to be sad, that she could do that later, that she wantd to have these days with Elliot and be happy. I think, as hard as it is most days, we all need to live our lives that way because we don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Bath time is ALWAYS fun!!!!!!

C.J.'s Soccer party

More Pic;s from our Beach trip....

I forgot about all the other picture's from our Beach trip. We had such a good time and I am so thankful that I got to spend some good quality time with my sweet friend Barb. We had not seen each other in almost 2 years, so we had a LOT to catch up on. I have to say a big thank you to God for the great Family He has given me and such special friends over all these years...good and loyal friends are very hard to find these day so hang on to the ones that are your 100% sure friends:)

Peter Furler..the Lead Singer of "The Newsboys"

On Friday, Barb and I, went over to the Beach for a little while and as we pulled up to the Beach House we met the Lead Singer of "The Newsboy's" , Peter Furler. He was so nice, he told us how he saved a Mom and her 15 year old Daughter the day before in the water. That night after taking some pic's on the Beach he came out with his Wife , Summer, and talked to us for a while, they were staying next door to my In-Law's Beach House. They were both the nicest people and we hope to see them again in the future.

more pic's from Mississippi Visit....

Our Beach Pictures

My friend Barb took some pic's of us on the Beach...we had such a good time. I wanted to post them because some of our Family and friends wanted to see them. Please let us know which one's you like the best and we will send you copies.

Fun at the Mississippi Fair!!!!

We had such a good time tonight at the Mississippi Fair. I have not always been big on going to the Fair BUT since having C.J. I see these things a lot different now. When C.J. is having fun...I am having fun, no matter what it is! When I see how much fun he was having and that we got to experience it with his Mimi and Uncle Dustin it made it more special. It makes me sad that he doesn't have them in Knoxville to build so many more memories with but you hold onto those that you do have and take LOT'S of pictures!!! Tomorrow we are going to the Pumpkin Patch....can't wait!

Pretty neat video of UT Band

C.J.'s first UT Game!
