A Thanksgiving treat for you all!
I knew we had wild turkeys in town, but hadn’t seen one this year until the other day! This one was hanging out next door at the church.
He eventually made his way over to our backyard! He was on our porch! Eeek! Or should I say Gobble Gobble Y’all!

Living Seasonally
November feels like one of those months of waiting. Waiting for Advent, waiting to legitimately begin to listen to Christmas music. The days are cold and short and before you know it November is over and you can’t believe Advent is already here! Sure there’s Thanksgiving, a holiday I’m beginning to feel more sentiment for, but really one that just makes me miss home. Autumn is such a wonderful season and one day when I have more time to sit and reflect on the goodness of all that surrounds me, I’ll savor November more.

Esther was two months old on the 10th. She’s a ball on sweetness, smiles at everyone and is so content.
Would you believe she started sleeping through the night…a while ago? At SIX weeks! I thought it was a fluke at first and expected it to last maybe a few nights, but it’s been four weeks and it’s still her MO! Que the music.
Happy Two Months Sugar Baby!

We have been reading about David in our Story Bible this month. Here is a conversation I had with Lily this week.
Me: “David wasn’t afraid of Goliath because Jesus was with him.”
Lily: “But we can’t see Jesus.”
Me: “No, not until we go to heaven.”
Lily: “Can we go to heaven now Mama?”
Me: “No, not until Jesus says we can. When we die we can go to heaven.”
Lily: “But we already died.”
Me: “Hm” (I’m thinking “that’s a little creepy”). “When did we die?”
Lily: “We died on the cross.”
Wow, God’s truth from the mouth of babes.
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” Galatians 2: 20
