I absolutely love the nights when Josh and I hang out at my parent's house with the whole family! Tonight my Granny and Grandpopa, Pappaw, Uncle Craig, Bryson, Amber, Jerry, Tanner, and my mom and dad all gathered together to cook out hot dogs, eat fruit and brownies, swim, and enjoy the fireworks while celebrating our wonderful freedom! :) It's so much fun to watch the excitement on Tanner's face as he jumps into my dad's arms in the pool, so trusting he'll catch him! Or to sit outside by the pool and have great conversations with the people closest to me! Now that I'm older, life seems to be moving so fast! I suppose it feels that way because we're on schedules, have bills, and are so busy always going here and there! As fast as it's moving, I never forget to be thankful for everything I've been blessed with! I'm beyond grateful for the people in my life and the opportunities I have! It's an overwhelming feeling of appreciation! God has given me so much and it's hard to grasp His forgiveness and grace at times, yet I pray daily I will never overlook His mercy and unfailing love for me! Just knowing He loves me enough to forgive me, bless me, and give me things even though I'm unworthy makes me know He is real and faithful! What a heavenly Father we serve!
Happy 4th of July! Take time to give thanks for all those who serve and die so that we may be free and count all your many blessings! :)
Enjoying the people I love most,
Hope (Future Mrs. Saenz)
Life truly does go by too fast! That is why there is blogging (which you are doing a great job of), so you can document those moments, look back at them, and press on towards the future. :)
