First Snow of the Year

While we didn’t get enough for the kids to have snowball fights, we did get enough for it to just cover the land. We love the snow and are glad to see it. My pictures just can’t do the snow justice. It is so pretty outside! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Have You Noticed Something?

Have You Noticed Something?

Have you noticed something? Perhaps that I just LOVE this time of year? There are several reasons why I love the Fall time. First, I mean, who wouldn’t love to live in the mountains during the fall and get to experience the wonderful colors of God’s creation. Just gorgeous! Oh, and you can’t forget about the weather finally cooling off to nice cool temps. Definitely got to love that! However, I love this time of year because it reminds me we are close to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving really means a lot to me. You see, I have so much to be thankful for. While I do my best to be thankful daily for what God has given me, Thanksgiving is a day that we celebrate it.  As I just wrote that, I realize I need to be celebrating it daily.  What a challenge I have ahead for myself.  Do you celebrate Thanksgiving daily?

Psalm 136
Thanksgiving to God for His Enduring Mercy
1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
4 To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
7 To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
8 The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
9 The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.
10 To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn,
For His mercy endures forever;
11 And brought out Israel from among them,
For His mercy endures forever;
12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm,
For His mercy endures forever;
13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in two,
For His mercy endures forever;
14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it,
For His mercy endures forever;
15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea,
For His mercy endures forever;
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness,
For His mercy endures forever;
17 To Him who struck down great kings,
For His mercy endures forever;
18 And slew famous kings,
For His mercy endures forever—
19 Sihon king of the Amorites,
For His mercy endures forever;
20 And Og king of Bashan,
For His mercy endures forever—
21 And gave their land as a heritage,
For His mercy endures forever;
22 A heritage to Israel His servant,
For His mercy endures forever.
23 Who remembered us in our lowly state,
For His mercy endures forever;
24 And rescued us from our enemies,
For His mercy endures forever;
25 Who gives food to all flesh,
For His mercy endures forever.
26 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven!
For His mercy endures forever.
