Two weeks ago, after we were in Texas visiting my in-laws, we flew to Florida for a Tuesday through last Friday vacation to Disney World. We had been given free flights there and free hopper passes to the theme parks and we had such a fun time together!

Last Sunday was Tyler birthday. We had a wonderful little party to celebrate his two years. Everyone was so thoughtful in giving gifts to Tyler–all kinds of Finding Nemo goodies, puzzles, books, a little backpack and a bunch of clothes. Instead of a cake I made jumbo cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles. Tyler was hilarious. He just ate all of the frosting off and then said, “All done!”

We also just had an exciting weekend at Compass Bible Church. We had a ministry fair that encouraged people from our congregation to serve. We also had a parents meeting for our high school ministry. Bobby and I really want to partner with them in discipling the students.

All of these things have caused me to consider God’s goodness. He has blessed me with a wonderful family, both here at home and at church. A couple of weeks ago Pastor Mike preached from Psalm 100 which talks about God’s goodness and how we need to respond by celebrating Him.

1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
