Happy Thanksgiving ummm Weekend!

(THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY FOR YESTERDAY BUT I WAS HAVING SOME CONNECTION DIFFICULTIES SO I HAD TO POST TONITE INSTEAD!)

Hello all:

I have had Thanksgiving for the last 2 days. On Wed. I ate with my parents and brother and yesterday, we headed out to Louisville to eat with my "in-luvs." Needless to say, Michael and I are stuffed with Thanksgiving food. We are also stuffed with the flu still, along with everyone else here in Lville. I did learn something new yesterday. I was introduced to a "Sugar Glider" for the first time by my cousin Jessie here in Lville. This little guy's name is Dusky and he is a cutie. He is, what my husband calls, a flying

squirrel, that comes from Australia. He is a lot like a bat, because he has extra skin under his arms and he can't handle loads of light. Anyway, I was amazed at him because I had never seen one of these before.

Here's a picture of Dusky in his cute blue, fuzzy ummm.... cuff warmer play thing (????)

I encourage those of you that keep up with me on here to do just that with Hannah's legacy on her site. Even though she is in Heaven, the site is still maintained by her family and it continues to be a beautiful blessing to my heart. Her mother's Thanksgiving entry is particularly beautiful.

I also encourage you, even some of you old people like me, to visit www.daretobeadaniel.com This is an awesome site that has been created for teenagers to develop a soul winning spirit. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THIS SITE TO ALL THE STUDENTS THAT KEEP UP WITH THIS SITE OR ANY PARENT WITH A TEENAGER OR PRETEEN. Now, grant it, I am not yet a parent but I still think my opinion counts here.... JESUS should be the top priority in our kids life. And I don't mean only when they are little or when its convenient around sports or clubs or whatever.

Matthew 6:33 (Whole Chapter) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

If we teach these "young adults" that putting God first means that everything else will fall into place, we are teaching them the ultimate life lesson. Does that mean that they'll get the winning spot on the football team? Not specifically. I truly believe God does bless athletic (other special) abilities in order to bring honor to HIS name because I've seen it happen plenty of times. However, God will bless them in special ways on and off the field.

I, personally, am working through the Dare to be a Daniel series myself and I am learning things about soul winning, as an adult, that are still very beneficial to me. I venture to say, the majority of Christians today haven't the slightest idea where to start when it comes to winning souls to Christ. If you, like me, are a Christian that wants the extra knowledge, visit www.daretobeadaniel.com and explore. You just might enjoy it. PS When you order the FREE kit, they even send a CD with some cool contemporary Christian music on it. Let me know your progress!
