thankful

I'm thankful for all the the men and women who serve and protect our country!  We are so blessed to be able to raise our children in America- land of the free! 

Today we went to the Veterans Day Parade in Albany.  It's supposed to be the biggest parade west of the Mississippi.  It was pretty cool!  I surprised myself getting a little teary eyed seeing these old guys in uniform waving their wrinkly, creased hands with a proud grin on their face.  It just hit me harder than ever how brave all our service men and women are. I'm so thankful!

 

I don't know what Eli was doing.  He kept posing like this while shooting his pencil like a gun???

 Then I got to thinking... speaking of freedom... Take freedom a step further.  I am so thankful for Christ's FINISHED work on the cross.  Now that is a freedom that is eternally done.  Paid for and won.  Never have to fight or work for it. Finished.
