November 7: Thankful for Wednesdays

I'm definitely behind, but no less grateful. My thankfulness tonight is enough for the 6 previous November days that I haven't posted. I know I've shared with most of you already about my Wednesday night home group, but I just can't get over how much God is blessing this crew. Truthfully, I don't think anyone feels more blessed than I do to be a part of this group. Others of you may have experienced something like this before, but it is certainly a first for me. Imagine your best nights of church camp or a retreat or a revival, and then imagine how cool it would be to get that every Wednesday night, in the middle of your week, when life is stressful and you need something to get you through the rest of the week. A group of about 35 TEENAGERS (mostly seniors), not all from the same church, choose to meet together at a home and discuss what God is doing in their lives. And God allows me to be a witness to it. Now, I know you may be thinking, "We've all been a part of something like that! That's just a youth group meeting!" But no. This is different. It's like we all know God is going to do something really cool each week, and we all come expectant, and we are never disappointed. Maybe it is something that is experienced by lots of believers, but all I know is that I feel so incredibly blessed to know these students who love God and want to follow his direction. I believe it is an answer to my prayer to give Staci godly friends who challenge her in her faith and encourage her to grow stronger. And, as God has seen fit, the same is happening for me.Who is more privileged than me to be able to be involved with my daughter and her friends in such a meaningful way?

So, I'm thankful for Wednesdays. Anyone else?

Karlyn Day 2- 5

Happy Sunday night!

I'm grateful for a lot of things tonight.  I'm grateful that God knows my every day before it happens, that I live in a country where I have the freedom to vote for my government officials, that even on my hardest day I have the hope for an eternity without hardships, and I'm grateful that Joan is better!

Love y'all very much!

Karlyn, Sawyer, Knox day 1

GET BETTER JOAN!

Happy 1st of November.  I'm praying this month doesn't fly like last month!  Today I'm thankful to be home with Knox and Thea.  It was a fun day and I actually got the house clean!

Sawyer says he loves his whole family and his cousins that are far away!

Knox is thankful for his daddy's combine
