Traditions

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time filled with so many traditions and things to be thankful for.   The last four years, a tradition we've been very thankful for has been spending this most wonderful holiday with Chuck's brother John and his wife Karen.  There is no shortage of laughter or food when we're together.   This Thanksgiving we....

Spent time with John & Karen

explored the beauty of Aspen filled forests

and the splendor of Gooseberry Falls

stood feet away from wildlife

 reflected on the calm beauty of nature

took lots of pictures of each other

spent time as a family

held up rocks

 crossed bridges

 kept our brother from falling

 climbed cliff faces

stood on the edge of the world

climbed rocks in Lake Superior

played Quelf

played Guesstures

did Thanksgiving yoga

did Thanksgiving headstands

fried a turkey we could actually eat

ate a delicious dinner

dressed up for dinner in formal attire

Enough

Sometimes I feel....

not good enough

not strong enough

not forgiving enough

not kind enough

not happy enough

not thoughtful enough

not adequate enough

not worthy enough

not patient enough

not smart enough

not beautiful enough

not loving enough

Then God whispers to

my heart that He is...

good enough

strong enough

forgiving enough

kind enough

happy enough

thoughtful enough

adequate enough

worthy enough

patient enough

smart enough

beautiful enough

loving enough

My inadequacy fades

In the light of His glory.

When I focus on all I lack

That is all I see.

When I focus on who He is

I allow Him to fill me.

Jesus is enough.
