Happy Thanksgiving!

I know, a little early. But Better now than never! ;)

We'll be super busy these next few days(and weeks!), so I won't have time to be on the computer much at all. I just wanted to update a bit, real quick.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays out of all of them. And I got to think'n a few days ago-actually, this is something thats always been the obv.- This day is set apart for more then just silly super-bowl games and laughing and eating until we burst(Not that I ever do) like the world has made it out to be, its about remembering those who came to America and what they made this nation to be(or what it was) and what they came for- 'a better life', to worship Christ freely and being thankful for that. And giving thanks for everything.

Some of the things I am thankful for:
Being placed by God in a Godly home.
To have been homeschooled. haha
A roof over our heads.
My family.
My amazing friends.
To be able to worship Christ Jesus freely.
The Bible.
To be able to play the piano. If it weren't for my aunt, I'd never have discovered it.
Books. Because I love them.
And, music. And a lot lot more that I just can't think of, but I placed the most important. ;)

Like I said, we'll be busy here for the next few weeks. I have a GGCR coming up in two weeks!! Exciting! And the regular shabang that comes with the holidays. :)

Hope you all have a blessed week.

Verse~Psalm 107 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Random fact: God has blessed me with so many wonderful friends that we all are able to encourage each other and can just have a great time with, but if I had to choose a day with one or the other, it'd be my mom. Because she's the bestest friend anyone could have. And she always blesses me with tips on how to do things and teaches me how to be a great 'homemaker'. :)

Oh, Ill also be putting up a Christmas playlist in a few weeks. So, look for it. :)

God Bless

    Happy Thanksgiving! Yes i love Thanksgiving! SO many people just watch super bowl game and eat until they are stuffed lol. But that is really not what it is about, and so many people really forget what the meaning of Thanksgiving is, which is really sad. They forget what those people did for our Nation(not much left,thought). The other day me and my mom were in the store and we saw some fall leaves and pumpkins as decor and my mom said, "sadie, what do you see missing from that decor?" and i was like, "Pilgrims and Thanksgiving..." Just think, in a few generations, kids in the school will not even know what Pilgrims are, and that is really sad if you think about it..... That is what these schools are doing.... Just look at what are Nation is turning into.... Very real and sad at the same time. I am thankful for lots of things: My wonderful and godly family, A house to live in, Friends, And so much more! This is really one of my favorite times of year :D .....just my thoughts....

    What is your family doing for Thanksgiving, Mandie? We are going to my Grandparent's house. :D

    Have a great night!
    Sadie

    That's so true Sadie!
    Very real, and very sad. I'm so happy that I was raised in a family that teaches the 'real' meaning of the holidays.
    Well, we're having thanksgiving at our house this year. I'm looking forward to the day itself, not actually hosting it. ;)
    And I just might. Thanks, and you guys have a wonderful one as well!

    Thanks Gg! :)
