Happy belated Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for my house! It's so nice to have a roof over my head! So many people don't have a house and have to live outside in the cold and rain. I think sometimes I take for granted how blessed I am to have a house! Thank you Lord for blessing me with a warm house!

In Christ,

~Mac

P.S. sorry this is belated! I didn't have the time to post, because I am visiting my grandparents and we were preparing for thanksgiving! So thank you for being patient!

I'm thankful for the Soldiers who have served and died to protect my freedom in the past, present, and future! I can't tell you how grateful I am to have people willing to protect this nation! I mentioned I am thankful for those who have served in the past because I am grateful for those who made the U.S.A. through the revolution and for those who have died in more recent wars but are not currently serving in the one right now! I want to give a special little thank you to my grandpa and grand bob for serving this country! You guys are the best grandpas a girl could have!

Thank you for serving this country in what ever station in the war you have or are in!

In Christ,

I'm thankful for my friends! I have the greatest friends a person could ask for! It is so nice to have friends that love the Lord with all their hearts! I have friends that range in ages from 1 to... (I'm not really sure! =D) Thank you Lord for my friends!

Here are a few friendship quotes that portray my friendships!

"A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway."
~ Jerome Cummings

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else. ~ Len Wein "Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life." ~Anonymous "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." ~ Charles Caleb Colton “A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.” ~ Anonymous ( I could find who wrote it) A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire. - La Rochefoucauld Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure. - Jewish Saying A true friend is someone you can disagree with and still remain friends. For if not, they weren't true friends in the first place. - Sandy Ratliff There are a lot more quotes but I liked these the best!

If you asked me what a true friend was I would say "A true friend will stick by you to the end no matter what!" I think my two closest friends (Lauren and Bridget) would do that!

Thanks Lauren and Bridget for being such awesome friends!

Praise the Lord for Friends!

In Christ,

~Mac

P.S. sorry about the funky writting and white spot! I have no idea what happened! =D

Note all of the quotes above were off of different sights from Google.

I'm Thankful for...

I'm thankful for the country I live in! What I am most thankful about the U.S.A. is that I can worship freely in it! I am thankful that I don't have to worry about where I keep my Bible. I am thankful that I can openly speak about Jesus and the Gospel. I am thankful that I won't be taken to prison because I chose to follow Jesus. It makes me sad to think that my brothers and sisters in Christ can't worship as freely as I can. We need to thank God for letting us live in a safe country, but also remember to pray for them! One of the main things I have heard them say is "When we are weak, He is strong." They also ask us to pray for them; not for their release (though they would like to be free) but that they would be strong and and not give in!

Praise the Lord for the freedom He as so richly blessed me with!

In Christ,

~Mac

Today my best friend is coming to help me baby sit my siblings.I am so thankful that I met her!She is the most wonderful friend I could ever ask for. We always have the best times together. Yes, you could say we are a bit wild and goofy but we enjoy being this way and having a good time. Of course we know when to be quiet and pay attention to things but when were together we just love to laugh. I think laughing is one of the most wonderful things in life as well! I never feel awkward and there definately is never a quiet moment when were together! We love each other and are just as close as sisters!

This morning as I awakened I realize how thankful I am for sleep/rest! lol..... Ok that's not really what I was going to write about! ha!ha!........ I am thankful for my siblings. Yes, we do fight and argue like any brothers and sisters but we really do love each other. We love to tease each other but of course we can behave as well. ha! They are so much fun even if some are younger than me. But even the younger ones have a humor of there own! Yes, I would say they are my best friends!

I'm thankful for my Dogs, Coco and Butterscotch!

My dogs mean a lot to me! Some people would probably say that I am a little crazy with them but they are my best little buddies. It's so nice to have friends that don't talk so I can tell them all of my problems and they won't say anything, they just give you a nice, kind, and understanding look as if to say "We understand!"

In Christ,

~Mac

I'm Thankful for...

I am thankful for my siblings! I am so thankful the Lord chose to put me in a family of five children! I am thankful the Lord chose to give me a sister, because when she was born I had two brothers and thought I would not have a sister! Though we don't always get along that great(=D), we still love each other! We have been and will always be friends forever!

In Christ,

~Mac

I am Thankful for...

Day #2

I am thankful for my Savior dying for the whole world! He didn't want to die, but because of His love for His Father and His love for us; He died. If He had not died for us we would all live in hell for eternity, but now He has given us the option to live eternally with him! I hope that you have or will except His amazing grace!

In Christ,

~Mac

Tis the season to be thankful, Fa la la la la, la la la la... Okay maybe that is a Christmas song but it fits! I will be posting what I am thankful for until thanksgiving! We should actually be thankful all year but this is the main time of year, it seems, that we are most thankful.

Day #1

I am thankful for an awesome, loving, all powerful, and all-knowing God! I am thankful for His love for us and sending His only Son to die for my sins!

Praise the Lord for what he has done for us!

Alright...what am I thankful for? Well first of all I am so extremely thankful for the opportunity to know, worship, serve, and love the God of the entire universe who loves us so dearly. I like to think about how awesome it is that we are given the chance to know Him. Just think we pray and sometimes hear the voice of the same God who spoke with Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, David and all the other marvelous followers of Christ in the Bible. Of course that's not what matters but it's just fun and amazing to think of this. What's important though is that He wants to talk, know, and take care of us. He is giving us the chance to follow Him. Just think of one of your hero's. Ok I assume you are thinking of one now....what would you do if that person said," Come follow me and be my friend and I will give you an amazing place to live beyond all your wildest dreams." Well I don't know about you but I would certainly be tempted. We need to have that same excitement about God. I know sometimes it's hard to have the same enthusiastic attitude about following God as you have when keeping up with one of your hero's, but we should definitely have the same attitude. We should be ashamed when we feel this way. I know I do. So today Lord will you forgive me when I foolishly feel this way? I know we all falter and loose enthusiasm but I am going to do my utmost best to thank you for all I have and to follow you and read your word without complaining.

Here are some scripture about giving thanks. Psalms 75:1 which talks of men praising the wonderful deeds of the Lord, Psalms 136 ...while you read it you become amazed at what all God has done for us over the years, 1 Chronicles 16:8 again this reinforces how much we need to praise His name and let it be know how He has blessed us.

Showing Thankfulness!

Hey everyone! No I have not forgotten the blog!!!!!!! I have let Mac take over for a little while because she went on vacation for two whole weeks plus she was very busy for a while when we first started...so....You might say I am letting her catch up on all the lost time! Ha!Ha!

Well we have begun cleaning for Thanksgiving! I can't wait until it arrives! We really have so much to be thankful for. From the roof over our head to family and food.... not to mention freedom to worship the way we want to! We have SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR! I'm going to start a countdown until Thanksgiving. I would like for y'all to join in too! Each day I will post something I am thankful for and why. If you want you can comment and say something you are thankful for and why as well. I think it would be a great way for all of us to show our thanks to the Lord for all that He has blessed us with!

Pecans and Mosquitoes

Hey everyone! Today we picked up pecans beneath the mosquito infested trees!! I bet I have a million bites! All the rain we've had has caused them to be numerous and ferocious. lol... We collected a couple buckets full and will have plenty of pecans for pecan pies and other delicious food on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I absolutely love spending time with my family! Our Thanksgiving is actually a family reunion so there are lots and lots of people who come!

Hasn't God blessed us with the most beautiful weather? It has been wonderful outside! Hopefully it will last until Thanksgiving! Well...the piano is calling me...I have my first recital in Dec....yes you heard right...my very first piano recital. I am just NOW learning to play! lol
