Fall

I have enjoyed this summer and fall. Looking out the other day as the snow was falling...the grass still a brilliant green and the leaves on the trees so colorful...reminded me of how much God cares for us. He sees what we're going through and when we don't understand or think things are appropriate for the season...He knows us, loves us and is using everything in His season:) I am reminded of the song...He makes all things beautiful in His time:) So thankful today.

Wedding!!!

I'm sitting here reflecting on the day. So excited for our youngest son and his new bride...Joel and Brandi. A beautiful and worshipful ceremony. Have a great honeymoon!

Family

So Van got me thinking....about Family.
No matter weather we like it or not....we can NOT choose our family...God has done that for us:) Fuss if we have to about Mom, Dad, Siblings...Mother-in-laws, father-in-laws, children, children-in-laws...cousins,etc....We do and did not chose them!~

There is one person we can chose in our family.....Our Spouse!!! Thankfully when we are following the Lord, we will chose the right one for us.
I have had many of changes in the last few years.....empty nest, regrouping in many ways...but thanking God for his grace and mercy in my life. God knows what I need and He is using each person he has placed in my life and the one I chose to make me who I need to be.... It's not always fun or comfortable, but it is all part of His plan.

So if you are fussing, do not want to face or deal with those God has placed in your life.....reevaluate.....are you willing to accept those God has given to you?

One other Choice you have.....how you respond to your family!!! My prayer is that I will grow in God's Grace and hopefully continue to encourage my family in the Lord.
I love them all very much!!!
