Sweet Stuff…

Thanksgiving week was such a SWEET week for so many reasons…

Not the  least of which is this little love…so fun-filled like her namesake:)  stephanie and thanksgiving 242

This is a photo that my auntie Joyce scanned and posted on facebook on my mom’s birthday…I love how our little Susie reminds me of this picture in these fun smiling ones here!

One of the amazing things about Thanksgiving week is that our dear friend and STINT sister spent a good bit of time at our house, flying in from Oklahoma to be with us and another family that was with us in Hungary.

JJ loved her…of course!  Here he is catching the ball and…

stephanie and thanksgiving 287 We had a wonderful, unexpected Thanksgiving.

I share the story here of how God took my sadness and disappointment preceding and gave the most beautiful of Thanksgivings in so many ways…

Trust you all had a blessed day too!

Be blessed one and all!  Trusting and Praying that the wonder of Advent will be real and you will live in a centered way as the Hustle and Bustle abounds…whether in shopping or making, decorating or wrapping, or doing something altogether different, may He be the center of your heart’s song in this season and always!
