Glory goes to God alone

This video is from Thanksgiving. We are very thankful for cousins. Even though they don't get to hang out every day, when they are together they have so much fun!

We give God all the glory for our wonderful family and for His wonderful gift of life to us.

Magic Christmas Lights

So, last year in Fort Worth, we saw an amazing light show. The house was in a typical neighborhood, but we LOVED seeing the lights and music together. This year in Alexandria, I was doubtful that we would find such a show. However, tonight...we found one! I LOVED it. I think a little more than the fort worth show because it had a real train on tracks...and more. I was impressed and so was Laura Beth! See the video, but better yet...see it in person. 5201 Argonne Blvd. Alexandria. It's pretty awesome, I think.

Jesus' House

Lately, Laura Beth has been thinking a lot about Jesus. Understandable since, she learns about Him at church, school, and home. In December, she obviously knows His birthday is coming soon. She will probably attend 4 Jesus Birthday parties in the next week. ha! That being said, we have been house hunting (ugh!) and praying to God for His direction as to the house He thinks is best for us. So, we have prayed with Laura Beth in our car in front of a couple homes that we were trying to make decision about. Today, as Steve was driving to one of the homes to view, Laura Beth begins the following conversation:

LB-"Daddy, is Jesus real?"
Steve- "yes"
LB- "Where is He?"
Steve- "He is Everywhere."
By now, Laura Beth is probably wondering about Jesus' HOUSE, because we always look at houses.
LB-Where does He live?
Steve- "He lives in Heaven, but He is everywhere too. And He is with us now, and thats why we talk to Him. He hears us."

At this point, Steve started to talk to her about Prayer. He started to tell her about why we pray at the houses, etc.

I wish I could have been there to hear her voice and this conversation between these two people I love so much. God is so wonderful!
