Do It Anyway

Martina McBride's song "Anyway" talks about things that might not ever come to be, that might scare or intimidate you, that may never be appreciated, or that might not even be accepted, but you do them anyway because you know it's good for you and it's where your heart and hope lie. Therefore, knowing that how my family acts, how we look, what we choose to enjoy, or even what we say and believe may not be appreciated or accepted, I still want us to be who we are anyway...do it anyway.

School Thanksgiving Feast

Aaris had a Thanksgiving Feast at her school on Tuesday, Nov. 24. The kids all had a great time because they all worked at making the feast. I went up to the school that morning to help them all cut their fruit for their fruit salad themselves. They also helped to make the pumpkin muffins and cranberry sauce in class that day. That week the kids had all made both an Indian costume (or as Aaris tells me..."They are now called Native Americans") and Pilgrim costume. Aaris chose to wear her Indian costume. She had worked hard on the pattern on her head-dress. The tables at the feast were decorated with handmade hand-print place mats that each kid had decorated themselves. It was so much fun to see Aaris interact with all of her classmates. I am so thankful that God blessed Aaris with health, talent, and most of all faith. And I thank God for blessing us with Aaris.
