We love living in the area that we do. California has been a home to us for most all our growing up, and married years. Over the past few months we have been very active with the young adults in our area promoting family values, and that God has only sanctified marriage between one man and one woman. We know that God has given to man their free agency to live as they may, but God has also given mankind the scriptures to learn His will and plan of happiness in this , but we have also been taught to live a core value of virtue and morality, and that marriage between man and woman brings beautiful little spirit children into our lives. We respect everyones feelings, but as christians we must stand firm in our faith and committments to God and His teachings.Our blessings from God have been peace and happiness with our children, and we are now enjoying the continued blessing of beautiful grandchildren coming down from God our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is our Savior and our mediator to the Father, without Him we are lost because He brings us redemption through His atonement. We are thankful for our faith, we love this blessed nation, and we will help and teach by example, in spreading His great truths to all. May God continue to bless this great nation and earth, is our faith, hope and prayer.
Thanksgiving at Grandmother's has been a lot of fun. It took two extra hours to drive here because of traffic but we have had a great time. This morning mom and I got up at 7:30 and I started the BBQ to cook the turkey. This year mom and I decided to cook the entire dinner so we could give Grandmother a nice break. Ww put the turkey on at 9:00 and I kept basting the turkey every 45 min with butter, garlic and seasoning. then at 1:00 we started the cellery, olives and pickels, dad's mashed potatoes, candy yams, Eve's creamed peas, fruit salad, and from the drippings from the BBQ turkey a fabulous gravey that was to die for. Phil and Holly were visiting friends and Phil playied in a football game this morning and they got here when Chris Linda and bernard arrived at 2:00. We started eating at 2:30 and had a feast. We just enjoyed a fabulous dessert that Linda made (German choc cake and a pumkin spice cake). Ariana, and Shaudee came over a few minutes ago and it's been real fun seeing them and spending time with them. They are soooooo cute. We hope all of you have had a great day and we look forward to hearing from each of you. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
