Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a great day! But I hope most of all that we remember what Thanksgiving is all about. Not the food, or pilgrims, but that it is THANKS-GIV(e)ing. We are giving thanks to God the heavenly Father for all he has done for us. You know... there is some people without a soft bed, or electricity, or even food. And we need to be thankful for all we have and all the blessings Christ has given us.
I think this is a good scripture to think about these next few days.
Psalms 100
Make a joyful shout to the Lord all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations.
So anyhow, have a great Thanksgiving and don't for get to THANK Jesus Christ for all He has done for us!
Eliza Grace, Emy, and I made Autumn sugar cookies last night. Here are some pictures!
An acorn that I made!
Squirrel on top, leaf on the bottom! :D
Just bunches of cookies... I think I made all of those. :D
I know this is strange, but I made this "leaf" into a Christmas tree! LOL
leaf.... and leaf!
leaf...leaf, and leaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And... thats all! I had a few of you say you wanted to see pictures of me and my sisters, so I will try to do that pretty soon. Sorry it has already been a while! If you have any suggestions like to see a poem, pictures, videos, or anything, just leave me a comment, e-mail me, or leave me a message on my little box and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thanks!

My sis Emy got her senior pictures taken today. Here are some of her getting them taken. I don't have very many good ones yet. ( but they are *coming soon*! )
In the woods with her desk, and type writer. (she loves to write. lol )
Set, Cameras, take!
Another place under this awesome arch, hedge thingy. :D
This one was only done with a cell phone, so the other ones will be much better! :D
Pick any of these things and I will try my best to take a picture of it, and post it!
•My dogs
•Me
•My sisters
•My room
•Something other than these.
So if you want, you can pick one of these that you want to see a picture of and comment me to tell me. ( oh, and I can also post videos. ) If it is something besides those, tell me and I can do that also. Have fun!
Here is a poem I thought I might share, it also has a verse to sorta go with it.....
Looking Ahead
The folks that look glum
As they go down the street
Are the ones that you really
would rather not meet;
But others who greet you
With look and with smile-
Ah, those are the folk who
Are really worthwhile!
I mean to look pleasant
So people will stop
To ask whats the time, or
The way to a shop.
They won't ask the glum ones-
Thats sure as can be!
But I will be helpful
If they'll just ask me.
To have many friends,
I must be a friend, too;
And that is exactly
What I mean to do!
-Marion Stearns Curry
Proverbs 18:24
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Hey! Ok, I have winners for the contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!
and the winner is........
Eliza!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Eliza!
Jewel, you did extremely good also, and it was really hard to decide the winner, and you both did really good! I seriously can't right them THAT good....! Congratulations both of you!!
Here is Jewel's poem:
God comes to me,
In the darkness of sin,
The smell of temptation,
In His light of glory;
God comes to me.
--
When sadness fills my heart,
Feeling forgotten I am,
He comes and puts a warming hand on my shoulder,
So that I may remember that He is with me.
--
Even when I sin against Him,
He comes to me.
--
If faith ever falters,
Remember that the Lord of heaven and earth,
Never forgets.
--
In the time of darkness and temptation,
The Lord is strong, even when we are weak.
And here is Eliza's!
Ears to Hear
~~~~~~~~~
Ears to hear,
Eyes to see,
This is the way
That God made me!
A haughty spirit
Makes me stumble.
This is why I
Must always be humble.
I must be patient
In every way
For I will face God
On judgment day!
To the fifth commandment
I must be true,
For God loves my parents,
And I love them, too!
Ok, recently I have been taking a bunch of pictures, so instead of doing a bunch of posts using them like categories, I will just post them all! And I will put captions on under the picture that I am talking about. ENJOY!
