Thankful Tuesday

As the long weekend begins to end for most of us...the kids are getting ready to go back to school, most of the neighbors are getting ready to go back to work, momma and I are excited to have one more day off, we are planning to us it just to spend the day together. For this I am so excited, not that we have any major plans or anything...but as most of you can relate sometimes just spending time together and with no plans are the most important. After this weekend, I am extremely thankful for everything that we have been blessed with. Not just for the possessions that we have but for the blessings that we receive each day. Over the weekend, we spend a lot of time together as a family, everyone together. Although our plans of a day at the beach fell thru due to the weather, we still spent time together. Weather we were watching movies together, playing 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader?' or playing wiffle ball at the park....We had a lot of fun. One of the things that I can not express how much I have enjoyed over the past few months, is our prayer life, we have made a valid attempt to have dinner together each night. Even if someone is not hungry we still gather to pray, and each kid has his/her night to lead in prayer....The kids have lead some awesome prayers...I am so proud of them, I can only imagine how happy the Lord must be with his children worshiping him. As we continue to go to church the family is getting more adjusted to the new church and we are certain that as a family this is the church that the Lord has lead us to.....we feel that we are getting fed and are growing in our walk. It is so wonderful to hear the kids talk about what they have learned.

On Sunday, our service was about King David. We went thru Psalms 18, if you have never read Psalms 18, I highly recommend it. In this Psalm, David tells of his story, he is past many of the events that he has gone through, he now realizes that the Lord has been on his side the entire process, and as Psalms 18 begins to end, David is now fighting for his God....Please read Psalms 18, and let me know what you think....how this Psalms relates to your life....here is a link so you each and read it....
