Have You Thanked A Veteran Today?

Today is 11-11-11. Veteran's Day. Do you have any veterans in your family? I do. My husband, my father, my uncle, and my grandpa were all Veterans. I know at least one of my Grandpa's brothers was in the service as well, maybe two of his brothers.  I think a couple of my Grandma's brothers served in the miltary as well.

It was a special prize for learning memory verses. We went to my Grandma's annual bonfire and hayride. I always love going to that. It is one of my favorite things about Fall. We went to a Booth Brothers concert in Bluffton, IN. We love the Booth Brothers. We made a quick trip to Brown County State Park. This was the last Saturday in October, so a lot of the leaves were already off the trees. There were still some beautiful places down there though. Life is busy...sometimes too busy. I have to constantly remind myself to take time for the important things in life, and not to worry about the small stuff. Easier said than done someti...

Music Monday

During the month of November, all my Music Mondays will be songs on the theme of giving thanks. This one is by Charlotte Ritchie. It is called "In Everything Give Thanks." It reminds us that we can always find something to be thankful for, even in what may be considered bad situations.
