2014 Recap

So, one of my brothers suggested that I do a blog post and call it "all of the things I meant to post in 2014 and didn't get done!" Well, I am not going to do that (mostly because it would take a very long time :) but I have been thinking a lot about this past year.        And I am trying to do better with posting! (smile)

What impresses me the most as I look back over the year is this: the grace of God. It is hard to even imagine what our lives would be without His grace. I have seen grace at work this year in many things, a few of which are....

  • a sinner brought to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ
  • grace that exposes the sin in my life, but the love that does not just leave me broken but forgives, cleanses and heals
  • working through my life and the life of others, despite our shortcomings and inadequacies. Using me despite my failures
  • the opportunity and ability to share His Gospel with others
  • loving friends and family, the fun times shared and the memories made 
  • the miracle of new life
  • the guiding and teaching of the Holy Spirit
  • His love that is always unchanging, and His joy that gives strength and hope
  • areas where, by God's grace, we as a family have grown in and are better for
  • the hardships that make us stronger and cause us to run closer to our Father
  • the grace to forgive others and be granted forgiveness by others
  • amazing answers to simple prayers, above and beyond what I could ask or think

"Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee 
with loving kindness and tender mercies.....
The Lord is merciful and gracious, 
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy."
Psalm 103

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: 
and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 
and his name shall be called wonderful, Counsellor, 
The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, 
THe Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Logan Wesley Price

Born on November 20, 2014


We are delighted to welcome little Logan to the family! He is absolutely precious and already loved so much! What an incredible gift new life is in so many different ways! It is a reminder of the amazing power of God who has created this sweet little baby and knew Him even before the world began. It is a reminder that life- ALL LIFE- is precious. It is a reminder of God's mercy and goodness who has given us this blessing. It is a reminder of the new life every person can experience through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. It is a reminder that children are a blessing, not a hindrance. It is a reminder to cherish the moments, for they fly by way too quickly. It is a reminder of the indescribable love the Heavenly Father has for each of His children. 

I hope you enjoy these pictures- (yes, I know, there are a lot of them)- but you won't enjoy looking nearly as much as we enjoyed taking them:)
