just for the JOY of it - Headers and Heros

First off I want to say a big thank you to Sharon at Good, True and Beautiful for designing my new blog header! I love it!

I know many of you are participating in the 30-day Giving Challenge hosted by Kingdom First Mom, well, Sharon wanted her giving to benefit bloggers, so she offered to create 30 blog headers or buttons for bloggers this month. Such a great idea! I pray that Sharon will be blessed abundantly for her abundant giving!


Yesterday Jacob and I went to a Veteran's Day parade in our town. It was such a joy to see so many incredible men honored for their sacrifice to our country!

Doesn't this picture just warm your heart?! My sweet hubby took it, and I think it's amazing. That proud strong hand that is now old and wrinkled, once fought so hard for our country. Yesterday my heart swelled with pride as I took part in honoring these heros. Our nation has been so blessed by these wonderful men!

This post is linked to Good, True and Beautiful's just for the JOY of it.

    That picture says so much. I'm often guilty of forgetting the sacrifices that these people (and their families) have made for me.
    What a beautiful tribute. Good job, Hubby!
