It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto thy name,
O most high:
To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning,
and faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92: 1-2
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, and our focus being on thankfulness,
I asked each member of the family (separately),
What Are You Thankful For??
These are their exact answers.........
The cross and what Jesus did for us in dying and being risen again.
For my wife and completer & her self-sacrificing love for her children.
For my precious children.
For life.
(Dad)
O come, let us sing unto the Lord:
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
and make a joyful noise unto Him with Psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great king above all gods.
(Psalm 95:1-3)
The
incredible love of my Savior for someone as undeserving as me!!
For a wonderful husband and father that is steadfast,
holding to the Word of God, no matter what.
For children that have a love for the Lord and want to please Him,
and that love me unconditionally, even though I mess up (again and again).
I am truly, truly grateful.
(Momma)
For the Lord's unfailing love to me! Even when I fail Him.
His mercies that are new every day!
For His grace that is all sufficient.
For the Lord being my strength and my shield and an ever present
help in times of trouble.
For being the rock of my salvation, my high tower and my shelter in
the time of a storm.
He loved me enough to die and save me.
I am thankful for how God brought me through this year,
when the trials in life press me sore.
(Gabriel)
I'm thankful that the Lord doesn't give up on us
no matter how many times we fail or mess up.
That He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
For the little things in life that we take for granted......like
sunsets, lightning storms, fluffy clouds, sprinkles, wildflowers, ice cream,
dirty little boys and talking at the dinner table with the family.
God is so good.
Thank You Lord.
(Olivia)
I am thankful that our Heavenly Father is on the throne,
and is in control of our lives.
For the blessing of a dear, sweet, loving family.

upon our lives, both big and small.
(Ariana) 
I thank the Lord for my Wonderful family.
And all the many, many, blessings He has given me.
I'm thankful for God's abounding Grace and Mercy.
For my parents teaching me to always trust in the Lord,
with all my heart, soul, and mind, and to never waver from the Word of God.
For he is the rock of my salvation.
Thank you Lord for sending your only begotten son, to come and
die on that old rugged cross, for mine and the whole worlds sins.
Thank you for saving my soul, and giving me a new life in you,
and for loving me even when I fail you.
I know I deserve nothing! But through Christ I have Everything!
And for that I am truly grateful!!

Lord Jesus Christ.

but you CAN'T take her off the farm!!
"Whew, it's been a long day in the garden."
"This is the life!"
We love you Liv and cannot imagine our family without you.
Your the best big sister in the world!!
