"Shout Joyfully to the Lord, all the earth...."

"Shout Joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.... Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with Praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, And His faithfulness to all generations." Psalm 100: 1, 4-5.

There are key words in that Psalm that describe this past Thanksgiving week:
SHOUT, JOYFULLY, THANKSGIVING, PRAISE, GOOD, LOVINGKINDNESS, FAITHFULNESS, AND GENERATIONS!!!!!

We were altogether for Thanksgiving up at the condo at Stoneridge Resort. And a lot of shouting was going on. Not only for all the other blessings and words mentioned above but especially keying in on GENERATIONS!!!! That is because when we were all going around the table on what we were thankful for, when Jake's turn came around he said he was thankful for "THE NEW ADDITION TO HIS AND HANNAH'S FAMILY"!!!! That is right, they are expecting a baby next JUNE. Then the celebrating began. Some people suspected, some knew already but I was totally surprised at the news. And I am so excited about the news. Another Grand baby.
And we are thankful for the Lord's Faithfulness and Lovingkindness because of the blessings that we have with each other and to those all around us. That includes you. We are richly blessed. And the other big news is that Jake and Hannah bought a house too! They bought into a lovely home that is a perfect match for them. I included a picture of them in front of their house with the for sale sign, SOLD!!
Here I am with my expecting kids.

In front of their new house and the SOLD sign!!


Up at Stoneridge in the Wally Ball court after a heated match. The victory stance. We had such fun on the court. This day we just had a few people.

More to come... I have to take the kids shopping. Be back soon....
