Groceries Again

Sometimes God's gives double blessing. Kim K. came over with these groceries. She is very heath conscience as we try to be. We'll love digging into this produce.

Groceries

These groceries come from an anonymous giver. I praise God for his goodness and rejoice in provisions.

Birthday Cakes

Promise's Cake
Laurie is an exceptional baker and she has determined in her heart to bake a home made cake for each child's birthday. Considering that we have 8 kid's this is no small task. But even more, Laurie doesn't just bake a cake, she bakes a piece of art. The insides may be marble or the layers may have be different colors, or checkered. I am amazed that many times the gifts that God give us are better then what we would give ourselves. Now, mind you I like my wife cooking, her confections are yummy, but she'll agree herself that these cakes a better than she would bake for the family.
Mercy's Cake
If we purchased these from the grocery store they would not be as beautiful or delicious. Creation like these come from specialty bakeries.

I just recently re-committed to post God's blessing our family. I found these picture on our camera. These birthdays were in October.

Being Thankful Again.

I have many times referred this site to Christian friends and to Bible study groups when I wanted to give proof that God does keep His promise to take care of His children.  Although I have not posted anything here in quite awhile. Believe it or not I got bothered with all the posting. First I passed the job on to my kids. Then after a while I was bothered with reminding them to post. So I let it go. We did it for over a year and I thought it was a good exercise of displaying the goodness and provision of God.

A couple days ago while in prayer I was reminded about this blog and felt conviction of my lack of thankfulness to God, that I would think it was a bother to record His goodness in a simple post. It so easy to be ungrateful. I will try to be more grateful in the future and start posting records of God's provision for my family again. I think it is fitting that this should restart during the Thanksgiving season.
