Thanksgiving!

There is so much to be Thankful for today!!! To even be thankful for anything I need to first let it be known how thankful I am for God's Grace and an unfailing savior. 
A plaque I found from Day Spring says "she knew that she was formed by God's hands, dreamed up in his heart and placed in this world for a purpose' 
It amazes me to look back through my life and know the path I was guided on, God was behind me then and will be for ever. He has blessed me with a husband that knows me better then I know myself, a little girl who is a joy to us and everyone who comes in contact with her, family full of love, 2 furry friends that are always excited to see me and snuggle, a home, and a comfy bed :)
Morgan has had 4 ear infections in 10 weeks...a little crazy so we took the plunge after chiropractic care wasn't quite enough and had tubes put in Wednesday. Being this was the first big thing that we have had to decide on for Morgan I think there was a lot more weight on our shoulders then we realized and we worried more then we should have. This is a pretty common and quick procedure, we spent longer calming her down afterward then she was in surgery. She was not a happy girl coming out of anesthesia but that is to be expected and she was hungry!! There are a few places in the bible that tells us not to worry. I am really struggling with not worrying and trusting in God that he has control. I pray each morning that God can be in control of my day and that i am ok with him being in control, that he can take my worry and let me enjoy the day i have in front of me. This has helped a lot i am in a better mood on the days that I heart-fully pray this, but i still struggle in many areas. Matthew 6:25 says “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

  
Waiting to go in to get tubes 
Sick little girl
 she loves sucking on cold rags!
 Our little Marshmallow - (thanks Renkly's for the wonderful cloths!)

 Momma Mable making sure Morgan is ok after tubes - we feel bad we got her fixed and can't have pups because she for sure has momma tendencies


I am a HUGE fan of Pinterest and I am not sure i follow the proper pin etiquette but i sure have a lot of ideas of how to get organized, things to do with the family - search for me and you will find the things i have pinned. I decided that i need to do something with all these pins i am finding so tonight i took care of our cord mess....it suggested using toliet paper rolls to do so. Matt was super excited that 1 thing of the bazillion things he has saved has came in handy!!!

AFTER
ahhhh this makes me less stressed! we don't have quite enough toilet paper rolls so i might start using a few extra squares when i use the bathroom to gather more quickly! I also wonder how many of these things we don't even know what they go to!!


I hope everyone was able to remember to tell God what you are thankful for today and also that you cherished the time you had with who ever you spent it with.
