We hope that everyone has a wonderful day today. We are so blessed--we have freedom of worship, food on our tables in abundance and to the point of being picky, clothes on our backs which we are also picky about, warm houses to sleep in, cars to drive....the list goes on and on.
More and more these days I think about all of this. We are trying to impress this on our kids--how blessed they are and how they should be thankful and not grumpy!!! God tells us to be thankful in all things. He doesn't say to be thankful for all things but in all things. That is a lesson that took some work for me when we left Asheville and with struggles our country is facing.
Today, we are taking Drew and Shelby (and Landon) to feed the homeless in our community. Casey is getting to stay with her Uncle Jack and Aunt Jammie. They offered to keep both of the little ones but Landon is having a little trouble with his breathing these days and I opted to keep him with me. Casey is carrying around her book bag with all of her dress up in it. She's pretty excited.
Drew and Shelby are excited about helping out today. I don't think they realize that there will be children there who don't have a home to live in. We've told them but I don't think its sunk in for them yet.
So have a wonderful day. Enjoy all of the wonderful blessings that you have--even when they seem like they are few and far between!! We love you all and miss you!!!
Steve, Tracie, Drew, Shelby, Casey and Landon and Max the "baby"
PS Casey was just looking at Max and asked why he was a baby now!!!
