Today I am in southern Georgia with Bob's Mom's side of the family. It was my first time here for this and my first holiday we've really spent with his side of the family. I was a little apprehensive about being with all these "southerners" but it was a fun time and we had delicious food. While I do miss my Mom, Dad and brother and the Brewer gathering today, I am So thankful I am with family and most importantly with my husband.
I am blessed. I am overflowing with gratitude for what God has done in my life and for the gifts He has given me. "To God be the glory for the things He has done!"
"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations." Psalm 100:4-5
