Thanks, God!

Thanksgiving is almost here! I've gotta go shopping to get everything for my pies and the stuffing and the mashed potatoes... and, oh yeah: the TURKEY!!! YUUUUUUUUUM!

But, maybe I should stop and take a second to thank God for everything He has blessed me with... yeah- actually, I think I'll do that before I take off and go shopping-- I mean, after all, I think God is the one that blesses me with all the yummy food we get to enjoy on Thanksgiving day-- and so much more throughout the year, right?!!!!

I'm thankful for my best friend and the most incredible, fun, and godly junior high pastor, ANDREW! God has totally blessed our lives with him and today, I am so thankful for him!

SOOOO-- what are you thankful for?

Story Time!!!

From there, she would look down at the people coming and going from the Palace. She could see the nearby town where children would play, mother's would gather eggs from the hen houses, and peddlers would offer their goods.

One morning, as Princess Joy woke up, she could not have known that this would be a day she would always remember. Like any other day, she slipped on her house shoes and walked across the room to wash her face. Without warning, she felt the earth beneath her become very unsteady. An earthquake had hit the palace. Joy immediately...
