Love Thy Neighbor

The bible tells us to love thy neighbor, and I have never felt more loved from my own neighbors and friends. Coming home from the hospital has been a total adjustment and the outpour of graciousness has been insurmountable. The Lord has blessed us with this family He allowed me to create, but the friends he's put in my life are a true testament of His love for me. I am feeling the love for sure. Thank you so much to all my friends who gave us a warm welcome from the hospital, are making meals for us and continue to offer support. Most of all thank you for your prayers for a healthy baby girl. He answered. 

Mark 12:31

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shannon leading some of the Marines during the "Home Hospitality" event.

Our Turkey Day will be postponed until tomorrow, but I wish you all the best to you and yours. Shannon volunteered to take duty today for his Marines and it turned out to be very rewarding. Through an AYMCA program called "Home Hospitality," he got to see hundreds of single Marines off to foster families for the holiday. The Marines were treated to limos, party buses, and even luxury car rides to have Thanksgiving dinner with a host family. Although I didn’t get to be with my own Marine today, I am so thankful for all the families who adopted a Marine to celebrate this time of thanks. Hope in America restored! :) 

Again, I hope you have wonderful Thanksgiving and please say a prayer for all the uniformed service-members who sacrifice time away from their families so that you can spend time with yours.
