Snow Day!

This morning at 6:45 when I left to leave for work I saw the snow and we ran to get the bear. WE wrapped in up in my coat and ran him outside. He said, "It is cold outside, why am i outside?" Only our bear! He stomped back inside and sat back down in his fuzzy little feety pajamas. He resumed eating his blueberry waffles and watching his baby tv. He is such a little blessing. I cannot believe God's grace has allowed us to raise the glorious little light. At thanksgiving, when everyone was going around the table to say what they are thankful for, without missing a beat, he yelled, "I am thankful for God, I love Him!!" Everyone cheered and laughed. Only from the mouth of wee ones. Shaw Caden, Mommy is thankful for you.

On another note, my thoughts are with The Chandler family. Matt, is such a wonderful light and is one of the reasons we joined The Village. I know the journey ahead is anything but easy all too well. As most of you know, my mom passed from brain cancer and thinking of Matt in that position breaks my heart. On the flip side as I know Matt would be all too eager to point out is that it is all in Our Lord's purpose for him. So, I turn to the Lord and press into Him, asking for guidance for my thoughts. I asked Him to hold The Chandlers in His hands. I ask Him to continue to have an amazing, huge family at The Village ready at a moment's notice to help in any way they can. Thank you Lord for your blessings.

Thank you so much for doing such amazing work in our life. We have sat back and realized so much of Your amazing purpose in things we often ignored. I know that my best friend was given to me to walk through this life with, holding me. I am so thankful for all the trials, challenges, and blessings (even if we saw them as something different at first) that you have given us. Your grace is something I will continue to be in complete awe of. Say hi to my Mommy, this was her favorite time of the year. And my last prayer, is for pink....
