Uncle Homa


We went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving and stayed in a little cabin with Granny and Pop. Colin kept saying, "our cabin is in Uncle Homa." We had a great time. It got cold, we built fires, we soaked in a hot tub, we ate too much and just had a blast. Colin especially loved his trip. I think this is the first airplane ride he remembers details of. He pulled his own little suitcase through the airport. Too cute. Getting so big! We are so Thankful for our many blessings. We are in awe of God's creation all around to remind us how big he is and yet how small he can be when you consider the color of each leaf, the sound of water running down a stream, the breeze that makes you zip your coat and wish for gloves, the smell of rain, the taste of pumpkin. So good. He is so good to us. Hope your Thanksgiving was reflective of His goodness. Hope you can retain that as you dive into the Christmas season.

What a beautiful sentiment! I think of God and His marvelous creations that are all around us each and every day. Building a fire when its cold out...Mmm...nothing like it! Praise God for the little mercies.

BTW, Who was the little man in the picture standing on the rock???????

I think it will forever be "Uncle Homa" to us now. I love the sweet little minds of our kids. Oh to be so young, innocent and just unobjective about everything. I love that he is worshiping and I LOVE that he worships with his own words. Thank you for reminding us of how awesome our God really is. I really enjoyed talking to you today, miss you !!
