Getting REAL part 2

I was making dinner tonight and started thinking of the recent postings and how REAL has been on my mind alot. I am thankful for my desire to be REAL and all of your desires to do the same. As I was thinking about my REAL life, I couldn't let this opportunity pass to share another REAL in my life. You see, my life is full of thankfulness as well. I am thankful and joyful for the things God has given me. When I smile and get excited about seeing family and friends, it's because I love them and I am living life with them here and one day in heaven. A big part of my REAL life is happiness for where God has me and the boundary lines He has set for me. As I was making dinner and Brian was outside playing with the kids, I was smiling. I was thanking God for the best husband in the world and the wonderful children He has blessed me with. I was thinking....This is REAL for me. This is what I want people to know about me and to share in my joy for life the way God has ordained it for me. Yes, I am a sinner and I have VERY REAL sin, but I am defined by the Gospel and because of that I am defined by joy and thankfulness. I am able to smile and love others because I was first loved by Him. I wouldn't be REAL if I didn't want others to share in my joy for the savior and my joy for life. These are some pictures of the kids and Brian outside. This is my REAL.
