We had the great delight to watch a full length movie with Matthew tonight. This was the first full lenth movie that we have attempted. The Polar Express was on; although I don't espouse the messege of Santa, I knew Matthew would love the train (and wouldn't understand the meaning of the movie at 23 months of age)! I popped popcorn - the old fashioned way on the stove - and the three of us watched the movie. It was such a treat!

Giving honor
This season naturally lends itself to thinking about what you are thankful to God for. With that in mind, I thought that I would write an brief entry about the two most influential people in my life - my parents.
My dad, as everyone knows, is the quiet one. But Dad knows a lot about a lot of things! He can fix anything or build anything. As for people, Dad sees the needs around him and is quick to attend to them. He always shows attention to the ones that most people will overlook.
My mom, as everyone knows, is not the quiet one ;o). Mom doesn't know a stranger and she remembers everyone. Mom shares out of her abundant garden and kitchen. She is always quick to remember the sovereignty of God in situations.
Mom and Dad, you have been through many trials and tribulations throughout your lives and through them all, you have been strengthened in your love for God and each other. You have been a great example of service and sacrifice; if God would develop even half the character that you possess, I would be happy.
I love you both so much!

Habakkuk
I thought that I would post a link to some free downloads. At the Sovereign Grace Ministries website, you can download free sermons among other things. You should get the downloads by clicking on "Audio Messages".
At some point, they did a three part series on the book of Habakkuk. Jeff Pursewell, Josh Harris and CJ Mahaney delievered these powerful messages on how to respond when your circumstances don't seem to measure up to your understanding of God - whether you are suffering or going through a hard season of life for whatever reason. I bring this up because I was listening to these again as I was going for my walk this morning.
I also share this because this sermon sereies was just one of the instrumental things that God used to help me get a better perspective on life. I hope that they will be a challenge and an encouragement to you, too!
