making a photo blog on thanksgiving day. .here it is!

a tree on princess ave.. its was soo unique and red i had to take a picture.. I am thankful for the nature and the trees that God has planted for us..

Kay sin! we picked her up on our way to Lem's house so that she could celebrate thanksgiving with us! she had a blast and she was playing with quinn the whole time.. it was soo cute... I am thankful that God has placed her in our lives because to some extent she always puts a smile on our faces and Makes my mom happier than she already is..

willing, praising, my mom and kay sin watching the little mermaid.. it was funny coz I havn't seen it in a while and since the last time i saw it, i know of some hidden things in the movie and that's all I looked for... what is achie praising doing? I am thankful for the opportunity to hang out with my family and I am thankful for the fact that I have a family who loves me and who is loved by me..

quinn watching little mermaid with us... I am thankful that I have such a goofy nephew who is obsessed with spongebob, he also puts a smile on my face and its great to know that although he is a new addition to our family, he is still a great nephew and it is really encouraging to see his face light up everytime we see him.

praising and willing preparing the food... I am thankful for the fact that I have food on my table everyday and I am able to eat whatever I want whenver I want.. God has truly blessed me by providing for my daily meals without any struggles.. We sometimes take that for granted..

my mom doing I don't know what.. I am thankful for my mom.. she truly loves me with her whole heart and is willing to sacrifice anything for me.. I also take her for granted and sometimes I don't realize that my actions can also hurt her.. I havn't treated her the best recently and I know that it pains her to see me stressed or anything although she doesn't show it.. she is my light and without her I am nothing.. I love her and I thank God for placing her in my life.. along with her goes my thankfulness for my dad... he is willing to give me the best of everything and won't give me nothing but the best.. I have sometimes let him down and I don't realize that he has gone through so much to put me where I am today... He has done so much and he outwardly shows his love for me.. I take my parents for granted and I have to realize that in the end, I can trust them more than anyone because they love me with their whole hearts.

Brock mashing up squash... I am thankful for having a "cousin" who is so funny and so intellectual in a different way. You can't help but smile when you talk to him because he says the best things at the best times.. I have learned a lot from him and I always enjoy the times we spend together!

Praising making gravy.. I am thankful for my cousins who always give me the time of day.. It is nothing but pure happiness and laughter everytime we get together.. I am thankful for Lemuel for all his "wise" antics and all our lovely chats about everything.. In a way he is my mentor because I gives me a different perspective on life and tries to help me in any possible way...

our final table of food with turkey, mashed potatoes, asparagus, corn, and squash. I am thankful for the opportunity to give thanks.. Although this act shouldn't be reserved for just this day, it is nice to have a day where I can really remember and acknowledge all I have and truly realize how blessed I am.. one can only wonder why people don't give thanks everyday since everything we have is truly given by God and Him alone...

my family.. I am thankful for God. HE is my sole provider, my light, my everything. He has given me a new life and because of Him, I have a purpose to life and that is to please Him. He has given me hope for my life and He is my love because He loves me more than anything enough to die for me. God has blessed me in so many ways that all I can do is repay Him by giving my life to Him. God is everlasting and He is my God. Words cannot even express how thankful I am that I have found Him.

Half eaten turkey.. YES... I am thankful for my friends..especially those close to me.. you know who you are.. I have treasured all the times I have spent with my friends and to some extent, they make my life a happy one.. I treasure each relationship I have and each one of my friends has impacted my life in one way or another... Thanks for being my friend.. I LOVE YOU!

fruit salad! my mom's specialty.. I am thankful for JO. you're in a league of your own.. you have done soo much for me and I am so glad that you're in my life. You're always there for me and I am truly thankful that you are my friend. In some cases, I don't know what I would do without you.. thanks Jo.

Finally, I am thankful for my life. The opportunity to learn, grow and live a life. I am also thankful for everything I have forgotten to mention.. I think I covered everything..

we are all truly blessed with soo much...
