Oh So Blessed

2010-11-15T04:47:00.000-08:00

This is perhaps my favorite time of the year, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, the Holiday season is upon us. This is the time for some things to settle, but then again it can be very busy with all the festivities that take place.

I'm so thankful for many things but the one thing that really stands out is about my Lord. My heart is so grateful to know that there is a God who is so in love with me and all mankind. He knew me before the earths foundations were laid and made a way for me to know him. He redeemed me, not with silver or with gold, but with the precious blood of Jesus. Everyday I'm receiving the love of God and growing to love him more.

I am blessed and so are you.

Went to see the movie "Up" with Nami last night. I think she laughed louder then anyone there in the theater, and I didn't mind...I love her laughter. After that we went and bought some new nail polish so we could go home and paint our toes. She picked it out....hahahahahaha...the name of the color is All That. Boy it is "all that"...purple sparkles in various sizes. Bling, bling. That's Naomi, the color is fitting as she is all that. ;-)
