3/30 Give Thanks

3. Thankful for a visit from Grandpa Smetana. Wish Grandma was here too!

2/30 Give Thanks...

2. For our church, University Baptist Church. I am thankful for how God is changing me and growing me through the ministry of the Word, fellowship with believers, and opportunities for ministry. I know it may seem strange to learn much from teaching 2s & 3s...but He exposes my own shortcomings and the need to depend on Him, no matter what I am doing. And taking 3 year olds to the potty and constantly reminding them not to play with the toilet plunger can get a little frustrating...learning patience and to show kindness and love :). Yes, my weaknesses (so pathetic) are exposed. How gracious and kind my heavenly Father is to me!

1/30 Give Thanks...

For this month, my goal will be to post something we are thankful for each day.
1. Family

We enjoyed a fun morning at the pumpkin patch with our family a few weeks ago. Rachael, Matt and crew were here from AZ, which was extra special. As always, we were missing Monroe and Katie. So blessed to have a family that we love to spend time with!
