MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My precious daddy's precious mother,
my awesome grandmother!

Hopefully all of us are not afraid to say Merry CHRISTmas to anyone, but most of us don't realize what these words really mean. And first of all I would like to say something that I find quit comical. All the stores can play "The First Noel" but they can't say"Merry Christmas!" Well, "Noel" means, Christmas! So everyone just say "Happy Holidays!" Well, holiday means Holy Day! We can't and won't ever get away from the fact that this date is all about CHRIST! Well, back to merry Christmas (even as I was typing this I forgot to capitalize the C and the computer told me that I spelled it wrong, even the computer knows that He is to praiseed and honored ALWAYS!)! We all (hopefully) will, with no problem, say Merry CHRISTmas to everyone! So here it is,

• Merry: MIGHTY
• Christ: Christ
• Mas: Celebration
  
• MERRY CHRISTMAS!
  

So, when you say Merry Chirstmas, I hope you think of that! I hope that I may tell more people Merry Christmas then I did last year!

And God Bless you and may you have a Mighty Christ Celebration!

Luke 2:11
Today in the Town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord!

Dear Lord,
We cannot thank you enough for giving us your perfect Son! May your Name be forever praised!
Amen.

God Bless,
Joy.

MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING!!!!

May we all remember that it is God who has given us the opportunity to live in this free country, may we also remember all those who have willingly sacrificed their lives so that we may be doing what we are doing today with no fear!

Keep our Country in your prayers!

God Bless,
Leah-Joy.

A Blessing!

Sorry that it has been a while! :( But, before I got to bed I wanted to drop a note and share with you the story of a blessing that God gave me today! He is always blessing me and sometimes I don't see it or He does it so much I don't even realize what He has sent me but, anyway, on with the story! This morning I was able to sleep late and then wonder down stairs in my pj's. I then started working in the kitchen (one of my favorite things to do). As I was working our Uncle JR. came by. As we stood talking he said that he need to talk to me. As I walked towards him I thought that I was in trouble. Well, he puts his hands on my shoulders (what he always does when he very serious about something) and says,

"Would you like a camcorder?"

Me, "Yes sir!"

You see, he had bought this camera to take pictures with on all the mission trips he goes on but he claimed that it was to complicated for him so he gave it to me! I am still so excited! Now I just have to figure out how to work it! See, hear lately I have been thinking that it would be really cool if I could somehow save up and get a camera. But, God knew what I was thinking and GAVE me one nicer then I ever could of bought! And now maybe with this new fangled thing we will have more "picture perfect" posts!

Thank you Lord for being such an awesome and gracious God! Thank you for this time of the year where we can reflect on all that you have given us and blessed us with!
MAY YOU NAME BE FOREVER PRAISED!

~*Psalm 18:30,31*~

30What a God he is!
How perfect in every way!
All his promises prove true.
He is a shield for everyone who hides behind him.
31For who is God except our Lord?
Who but he is as a rock?

This song is so awesome. The first time I watched it, I cried!

Hope you like it! And Noel, I was also thinking of you as I posted this! Only a week and four days!!!

Psalm 134

BEHOLD, bless the Lord,

All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary.,
And bless the Lord.
The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion.

Dear Lord,
Please bless America
and please open our eyes to all of the blessings that you have already given to us!

GOOOOO DAWGS!

Many of you may have already seen this video on Aunt Renee's blog, but I wanted to put it on my blog anyway. In this video, the head coach of the UGA Bulldawgs , Mark Richt and his family share their awesome testimony about how God satisfied their longing for more children through adoption! It is so inspirational!

I Hope you like it and may God bless you!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

11"For I know the plans I have you,
declares the Lord.
They are plans for good and not for evil,
to give you hope and a future.
12In those days when you pray ,
I will listen.
13You will find me when you seek me,
if you look for me in earnest."

May America look and seek for the Lord in EARNEST during this time.
May we all keep our Country and Senator Obama and Senator Biden in our prayers!

God Bless,
Joy.

EGA

This is the Eagle, Globe and Anchor, Marine symbol.
This was made up of 9,000 Marines.

This many and more have died for you and for me.
So many lives have been sacrificed so that we can do what we did today WITHOUT FEAR!
Without thinking that someone might learn of who or what we voted for and destroy our families.
They have given so much for US,
so that we might live the way we do today!

And I hope and pray that not a single one of us takes what they are doing for us for granted!
May we ALWAYS remember them, may we ALWAYS thank them,
and most of all,
may we ALWAYS keep them and the leaders of our country in our prayers!

Dear Lord,
Please be with all the men and women of the United States Military safe and in your hands. Please guide the leaders of our country in the way that you know is best for us!
And Lord, please open all of our eyes to all of the blessings that you HAVE ALREADY given to us!
Amen.

God Bless,
Joy. ;)
