I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving day with food, shelter, and everything else that we have to be thankful for.

Some of the things that I have to be thankful for are:

The Lord, who always gently guides me into paths of better character and is always there to talk to and share my heart with.

The Pilgrims, who started this country in Faith, Love, and a Christian heritage.

The freedom of being able to pray, read the Bible, sing hymns, and share the Gospel with others.

Family and Friends, who encourage me, love me, play with me, and sharpen me!

Corbin got his pins out! They came out easily and with hardly any pain. Corbin has been trying to strengthen and loosen that arm now. It is amazing how much the arm loses it's strength and mobility in five weeks!! To hold the arm straight out in front of him, was like for one of us, holding a ten pound weight in your hand!! He can now lift his arm above his head.

Thanks for all your prayers!!

Velvet is a Nubian doe that gave birth on my property this January to two girls and one boy. I sold her along with one of her daughters to a wonderful family. They cared for them this summer and really enjoyed them, but recently, felt God leading them to move. So they called me up and I bought them back. Dad and I decided though that 13 does were too much for us to comfortably manage, so we are selling them.

We found a buyer that should be picking them up on the 20th. I will be sad to see them go, but glad that they found a good home.

Hello Everyone,

I don't know if you all knew that we were planning on adopting, but we have been working on adopting since February. At first everything was falling into place, but recently, all the doors have been shut. We are not wanting to start all over again, so unless God brings some children to us, we are not planning on trying to adopt.

This has been somewhat hard on us, but we understand that God knows what is best, and we don't want what God doesn't want for us, so we aren't going to try to open doors that have been shut.

Thank you, everyone, for your prayers and support.
