“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long
devastated; they will renew cities that have been devastated for generations”.
Isa. 61:4
♥ On this Thankful Thursday I want to give thanks for the fact that Jesus our Lord is a Master Restorer! Isa. 61:4 was our memory verse this week in my Breaking Free bible study class. All of us have some kind of generational ruins, but the good news is they can all be rebuilt! Jesus is truly our deliverer. I was so blessed to know that every generation has an opportunity to allow the power of God’s Spirit to restore their lives no matter what has taken place, and then exert a positive influence for THOUSANDS of generations. We can be that link to freedom. Praise God for FREEDOM!!
♥ I'm thankful for the many special friends I've made this past year blogging. On Monday, I'll celebrate my One Year Blogaversary. Please stop for this special occasion.
♥ Gratefully we are now in the process of getting estimates to have our house repaired after the damage suffered from Hurricane Gustav. I'm so thankful God has sent contractor friends our way to help out.
♥ Finally, I'm thankful I'll get to see my daughter-in-love and my grand babies this weekend. This will be Kristin’s first big outing since she had baby Cole. We're looking forward to having lots of fun and fellowship. Here is a picture I took last week of Karli and Cole as they were rooting for the New Orleans Saints who won the game, which is no small miracle in itself! Yes, this is our little future football star and his proud cheer-leader!!
Please join many other grateful hearts today over at Iris's new beautiful blog Grace Alone!

Hi Susan,

Hey Girlfriend!
Yes, I'd LOVE to be able to do some "neat tricks" with photoshop. I think the first thing I do would be to take about 20 pounds off of ME! HA!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm MISSING YOU online.. O:-)

PS.. You gonna hop in and do a "Not Me!" Monday post?? You'd be GREAT at it! No pressure!
Precious! I know you are lovin' those babies!!! have fun!
Hi Susan
Yes I joined the blogger world...I loved Caringbridge, but blogger is just so much easier to put up as many photos as I want to.So I guess for now I'll keep using blogger till it is time to go to transplant then I will probably update on both of them. Beautiful pictures of your grand kids.
Blessings....
THAT is the CUTEST picture!! Now at least they are Tiger fans...the wrong Tigers, mind you...but Tiger Fans nonetheless!:)
ENJOY them....every single second!!
HUGS!
Congrats on your Anniversary!! I like your blog and plan on coming back for a visit! God bless ya,
