Thanksgiving

So today is the Canadian Thanksgiving. On January 31, 1957 the Parliament of Canada proclaimed that...
"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest which with Canada has been blessed - to be observed on the 2nd Monday of October."

It is annoying when people say they are thankful for stuff but not who they are thankful too. I mean you can't just say thank you to no one because it just doesn't make any sense. So instead of saying I am thankful for try saying I am thankful to God for because then God gets the glory and it makes much more sense to be thankful to someone.
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

Psalm 9:1
The verse is saying that we are to tell all about what God has done for us and given us.
Here is a list of what I am thankful to God for.

  • That God loves all of us and promises to never leave us
  • That my brothers and I can be homeschooled by our awesome teacher our mom
  • For my family and how crazy and fun we are
  • For my babies aka my donkeys
  • For the awesome youth group at our church
  • For our church
  • For my books that I don't think I could live without including my Bibles
  • For my music that I don't think I could live without either
  • For all my friends 
  • For my violin, I have so fun with it!
  • For our town
  • For our house and acreage
  •  For Christmas because it is the most wonderful time of the year.
  • For food, especially rice!
  • For my followers because I wouldn't write on my blog if it wasn't for you guys
  • For country things like music, the style, clothes, etc.
  • Old TV shows, I just love them!
God bless you,

Family Day

 2 Mondays ago was a Holiday for Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario called Family Day. In our town they always have a thing to celebrate it with sleigh rides, hot dogs, hot chocolate, face painting and there is skating too but all of us are not very good except my dad.

There is Jacob, my dad and I. Ben is behind my dad and my mom is taking the picture.
 
Ben getting his face painted as Spider Man
 
Jacob getting his face painted as spider man too.
 
Jacob got to ride with the driver on the sleigh. Now Ben, Jacob and I have all got to ride with the driver at least once.
God bless,
Rebekah

Happy Birthday Jacob

3 days ago was my brother Jacob's 6th birthday. He was counting the days to it forever! So when it finally came he was really excited! He says now that he is 6 he will grow to be 7 feet tall!
Here is some pictures from his birthday.

Jacob opening my present I gave him...

And he has opened it. I think he likes marshmallows

He got a Thomas the Train Lego set

Roasting his marshmallows

I made his cake

1,2,3 BLOW! Happy birthday Jacob!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

 Yesterday was my dad's birthday!!! I made him a cake and bought him a coffee mug. Ben bought him chocolate, Jacob bought him gum and my mom bought him socks and a pair of jeans.

Here is the cake that I made and decorated.

And here is the banner that I tried making but my mom made the icing to runny.
 Here is my dad reading the mug I got him. It has the bible verse Psalms 62:2 that says He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

Go West Young Donkey

 We had to sell Little Joe because our other donkeys are in heat and he might try to hurt the babies. Well the other night we get a phone call from BC and she said she is going to buy him. This morning she picked him up. (it actually wasn't her it was a lady that picks up and delivers horses, donkeys and mules) She came around 7:30 a.m.
Here are the pictures of him leaving.

Little Joe wasn't so sure of going in the trailer

 He finally decided to go in

He finally made it in and was happy because he got hay

And he is off to BC

 Today is also Father's Day! So Happy Father's Day to all dads and may God bless you. My dad sure got spoiled today.


I made the card, (which I think is not in the picture) the chokecherry jelly and I bought the chocolate.


 We also went to church at the old folk's home today. It went really good but we were late so we couldn't help set up. But we did help gather the song books at the end. Next time I think we will be early, maybe.
