...I am Thankful...for Family...
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:34
...Our family is  a circle of love... with every birth and every union the circle has grown...

"Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful...It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life."...Lisa Weedn

...(this picture was taken @ our Thanksgiving 2011...at the time, one of the last holidays, we had our mother w/ all 9 g'kids)...

...Father, I pray that you bless our families.  I pray for our growing families. I pray for our little family in SF and our Texas boys.  Father, may you help them adjust AND  transition to each new season of life.  May You guide these children as they are moving through different stages of life.  I ask that You intercede for each of us and fulfill our needs, AND remind us daily that You are our strength.
Thank you for the opportunity to have a family to love and to feel loved....I am THANKFUL...amen!

                XOXO!
                    from our 5 acre woods!
