Thanksgiving 2009

Brandon, Jane and I went down to George West, Texas to visit his family for Thanksgiving. It was our first time flying with Jane, and she was able to meet her Auntie Rachel, Uncle Bret, cousin Luke, Uncle D, Granny, Oma, and Opa! We had a restful, refreshing few days, enjoying family, friends, and God’s beautiful creation. It is one thing to enjoy nature alone, but when you are around other believers who also marvel and praise God for His creations…well, then it is really glorious.

Here are some pictures from the trip:

Thanks ladies!

Thanks everyone for making our trip such a blessing. And, most of all this Thanksgiving, I thank God my Father, who has graciously given me life in Jesus Christ…when I deserved death. Praise the Lord.
