Good-bye 2009

The end of the year is here.  This last year has been a rough one for our family, but we are still thankful for the blessings we have.  Most of all, we have each other.  I made a wonderful photo collage of a few of my favorite pictures from this last year.  These faces are the blessings in my life.

Time with our children is fleeting.  I take lots of pictures so I don't forget a moment of how wonderful they are.  God blessed me with a big family.  In a day and age where children aren't often seen as blessings, I am determined to enjoy them and raise them to serve the Lord Jesus.  Family is a big deal in our home.  We may not have as much material things as other families.  We might not get to take many vacations.  We may even live with hand-me-downs and strict budgets.  However, we have lots of love.
