I went Christmas shopping at 4:00 this am with Dustin. It is amazing to see how people are in a shopping frenzy. Dustin told me that he didn't want to have to punch out some little old lady, because she was being hateful. Everyone was very nice though and there was no need for any kind of violence. People were lower key in a way. Our prayers are, that people will remember what Christmas is really about. That we will appreciate our blessings, big and small, our health, and our families. Yesterday we ate too much food. We went to two different dinners and that is always bad. Thomas and I were both miserable last night. Aaron was sick all Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Day was running a fever of 101.5. God is good though. This morning his temp. was back to 99.3. I will never be able to repay God for the blessings and mercies. Thomas will be home from hunting at noon and we are going back out into the crowd to shop more. Here's to holidays and remembering what they are really for love, family, forgiveness and a man on a cross, that loved us more than his own life. Happy Thanksgiving!! Love, Sandy

Friday night at the fall festival at church, I watched all the different children and they were having so much fun. I remember when I was that age and all you had to worry about was homework and getting in trouble. Church events were a treat. We didn't have air walks and pony rides and etc.. I think sometimes, I thought that to actually have fun was worldly and a sin. As I get older, I realize God is so good. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to laugh and have a good time. To be a child and be happy, that's priceless. Life is priceless and so short. I wish with all my heart, that God would perform a miracle in our church. I would like to see Marianna walk and laugh and have a good time. Children should all be happy and healthy. Children shouldn't have to carry around their baggage or their parents baggage. We should all strive to raise them to be happy and content. If they are healthy, praise God every day. They need to know that God is a friend, not someone that they are made to deal with. They need to always understand that God and church is their solace and place of peace. We need to make sure that we as adults strive to make it that way. We have to lead them to the only one, that can save them, redeem them, and take them to their only true home, Heaven. God is our only resting place. Children need and deserve to be children and happy. They deserve our love and protection, like God loves and protects us.
