Giving Thanks :-)

This Thanksgiving we have many things to be thankful for, along with every other day of the year! I'm thankful for my loving family, my wonderful friends, the doors that God continues to open for me and all the many blessing I receive daily, but above all i'm thankful for the Lord's grace and mercy he gives us everyday and for sending his son to die for a sinner like me.
At the beginning of this summer I started a "Thankful" book. It was a little book that I would carry around with me and I would write down everything I felt thankful for. I wanted to practice appreciating the Lord and EVERYTHING he does daily. Unfortunately I did not stick to it very long, but I would love to start it again.

This holiday we spent in Atlanta with my mom's side of the family. After our lovely meal we all packed our bags and headed to Tennessee to the Whitewater Express camp that Diane works at. We stayed there for a couple days and enjoyed sitting by the fire, playing games and enjoying the beautiful mountains.
