Is Summer really almost over?

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in a really long time! Forgive me for that! I just had a couple pictures to share with you all, and one other thing, and then I hope to have some more pictures and stuff up soon about our summer! :D (p.s. I can NOT believe summer is almost over already! :'( ........)


First of all......... On July 16th, I had the privilege of hearing Selah in concert LIVE at the Christian Conference Center we go too in the summer in Alton Bay, NH!!!!!! It was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I was so glad that I got to go!!!! Here are some pictures...

Myself, Susanna and Caleb with Selah :)

Yeah, so it was pretty awesome! I saw this the other day, and I really liked it and thought I would share it with you all! :D


Things for Which to be Thankful:


The spouse who complains when dinner is not on time, because s/he is home with me, not with someone else.


The teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets.


The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.


The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.


The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.


My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.


A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.


All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.


The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.


My huge heating bill because it means I am warm.


The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.


The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.


Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.


The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.


Getting too much email bogs me down but at least I know I have friends who are thinking of me.


So, next time you start to complain about something, I encourage you to look for something to be thankful for! Look for one of God's many blessings in your life! You might be surprised by what you find! :D


In Christ,
