Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow...

I loved singing the Doxology in the Methodist church I grew up in. I often sing it to Rebecca. There are different versions of the Doxology, sung in many Christian denominations. However, this one is my favorite:

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The simply song of praise is fit to be sung EVERY day, but during this Thanksgiving season, let us remember from Whom all our blessings come.

Our family is so very blessed, with wonderful family and friends (yeah, YOU!), with a warm home and good food on our table. I am blessed to be able to stay home with our daughter and John continues to be blessed with good reports from his scans. These are just a few of our many, many blessings.

This Thanksgiving (actually the week prior,) we traveled to Tenn. to stay with my Mom's side of the family in some beautiful mountain cabins. It was a family get-away. We had a great time visiting and bonding with our family and taking in the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sevierville attractions.

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, our family, along with our friend BJ, traveled to Vine Grove, Ky. to dine with our good friends Josh and Jessica Hornsby and their family and close friends at a little German restaurant called the Schnitzel Barn. The food was way yummy and I got overstuffed! The company was first-class!! We so enjoyed seeing our friends and their gracious family! Thank you, Annette! We loved seeing Bill and Judy too! Gosh, we are blessed to have you in our lives!

Here are some pics of Rebecca enjoying the company of other toddlers in our party (Mason and Trey) at the Schnitzel Barn:

On Thanksgiving day, we supped at Mom and Dad's home with the immediate family, my Papaw, (Rebecca calls him "Great" - and he is!) and Robert's girlfriend, Jana.

This past Saturday, we ate lunch at my Mamaw Howard's home. Much of the family was there and it was great to visit and see how much my younger cousins had grown!!!
