I am on a trip right now to the East Coast. We are visiting family and raising financial support since we are missionaries in Kansas City, MO. It has been a good time seeing both Brian's family in North Carolina and my family in Maryland. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Brian's family and the house is completely full with everyone there! I have so much to be thankful for and I know how important it is to have a thankful heart everyday! My children have been working on this whenever they begin to have an unthankful heart. I ask them to tell me 5 things they are thankful for and they begin to realize all that they are blessed with. It's amazing how our spirits are encouraged when we are thankful.
We are getting ready to head back to Missouri at the end of the week. My mom is coming with us to stay for a couple of days before she flies back home to Maryland. It will be nice having her interior decorating skills to help me with the house in Missouri. We are also beginning to prepare for Christmas. With limited resources for Christmas presents this year, as I am sure everyone is dealing with, it is helping me to keep my heart focused on the one who deserves our praise this season, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Anyway, I am going to try and be more faithful with blogging on a regular basis, even though I don't know if anyone is ready this blog yet :)
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and your heart is preparing to celebrate the birth of the King of Kings, Jesus!
