Weekend with Family

November 28, 2011 by Aliesha

We were very blessed this weekend to be able to see both sides of our family!  We spent Thanksgiving Day with Tad’s side of the family, and loved getting to see many people we hadn’t seen in a while.  My camera was packed in my suitcase, so I don’t actually have any pictures from our time with them.  But we enjoyed wonderful food, as well as good conversation and an invigorating walk after our meal.

We spent Friday and part of Saturday with my family and with my brother Phillip’s college roommate, Caleb.  We had a great time with them as well!  Here are some pictures.

Hope each of you had a great Thanksgiving weekend as well!

Thanksgiving

November 24, 2011 by Aliesha

“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30

“Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” Psalm 95:1-3

“Know that the LORD, He is God! It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! For the LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100:3-5

Have a wonderful day celebrating God’s goodness to you!
