Thankful Thursday


Happy Thankful Thursday! My post is going to be full of all of the people I am thankful for and the blessings over the Easter weekend.



This is my brother in law, Brian and my nephew, Jason...we were at the Lake County fair and watching a seal show.


This is me getting ready to go to my father's on Easter Sunday.





Candy, Derek & Kelly at Easter Sunday service ... it was a beautiful day and there was over 1400 people in attendance. Several people gave their life to the Lord! Praise Him!




This is my sweet Lolly after Easter service enjoying the sunshine!






Joshua, Joseph and Brendan getting ready to go to the Lake County fair!




Jason and his brother, Brian getting ready to go to the fair. They are so handsome!







Joshua and Zach (my cousin, who is the youth pastor at our old church)....after Easter service.








My bonus Mom and my nephew Corbin enjoying some down time after Easter dinner.

My sister, Candy, and my best friend, Daiana after Easter service. Daiana sang "My Redeemer Lives" on Sunday....thank you, Jesus...that you conquered the grave!



















We got some quality time with Joseph ... this is Jason and Joseph on the way to the fair!













My sister, Kelly and I at my father's house. I understand if everyone is confused....I need a flow chart to keep up with my divided family. lol












I got to spend some time with some friends at the beach ... this is my friend, Donna.














This is Donna, Kat and I trying to all get in a picture at the beach .... somehow we couldn't figure out how to get all of our heads in the picture! lol







I am thankful for the resurrection of our King Jesus and all that He allows and provides for us! He conquered the grave and allows us to live an abundant life with Him on this earth.


I will leave you with this most beautiful victorious verse 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 " O, Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ"

I LOVE THIS MESSAGE!!! Awesome photos as well. And you shared one of my favorite Scriptures.

Isn't it just awesome that we can understand thankfulness? In a day and age where there are so many who are hurting and angry and many of them don't see their way clear to be thankful for anything and I pray for them because I so want them to know the love of JESUS. It's because of His love for us and ours for him that we are able to be thankful.

I love you sweetie and I'm thankful for you!
