Okay, I think I am gonna do something different. . . a song. . .
Be Thou my Vision
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son,
Thou in my dwelling and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joy, O bright heaven's Son
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
**Hymn books make great devotions. Learning where they originated and how each song came about puts a new light on singing each one. Try it. . .makes your worship experience greater!
Fabulous!

Hmmm. Can I do this?
Okay, so I am new to this blogging thing, but we will see how it goes.
Its Thanksgiving. A day of TONS of food, fun times with family and friends, and a day set aside for giving thanks. My church does a community Thanksgiving, give away turkey plates to the people around us who are working, every Thanksgiving. Since there is only 3 of us in my fam, we always help out. Its about my 5th or 6th year doing this. Every year it gets better and better. We take plates to all of the convienent store people who are working, grocery store people, those at Wal Mart, and since we live right next to Fort Bragg, we give plates to all of the gate guards.
Well, today I got to go and pass out plates to the gate guards. It was actually pretty exciting. One reason, I got to get to know a new guy that started coming, and he is actually a pretty neat guy. The other reason, we delivered plates for almost 2 hours, and every guard we gave them to smiled, and was almost suprized that we did that. *Yeah, and we got on base without an ID, even though SOMEBODY showed them his every time~. I really had a good time.
My day is finally complete after eating tons, sleeping a bit, watching movies, and having great text-messaging conversations. I truely had an absofabulous Thanksgiving.
Today was pretty exciting. I actually learned a lot. I learned that I am thankful for having family and friends around me. . . that I am not completely alone. . . and that I have an awesome provider who takes care of me. I may not always show how thankful I really am, but wow. Today shows that I should tell those people how thankful I am for them, and what they do, for me and for others. People are great! Friends are great! My fam is oh so great! My Maker, indescribable. I just had a really great day, and I thought I would share that.
