My heart is full. I have so much to be thankful for! It's the day after Thanksgiving and we spent a wonderful day with my parents on Thanksgiving Day. I felt very blessed to have my grandparents there too! Please continue to pray for my Grandma's health and for strength for my Grandpa as he cares for her.
Today, as a family, we picked out our Christmas tree. It's fun to make these memories with the girls. Right now we're enjoying some Christmas movies together and just enjoying family time. Yes, God is good and there is so much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for my family, my church home, and the girls' school families (Gray Rd. and Greenwood Christian). I'm thankful for wonderful friends who encourage us in the Lord. I'm thankful for a warm home and all our needs provided. Most of all, I'm thankful for my Savior. Of course, adoption is on our hearts constantly but I am still amazed and thankful that I was adopted into the best family there ever will be.....God's family!
I want to share an email that my sister sent out to her friends. Please pray that God will use this to help us on our adoption journey. I am thankful for how she has allowed God to use her to be such a blessing in this way!
From Jen........
In an effort to help my sister and brother-in-law with some funds for their upcoming adoption, I have decided to put together a cookbook fundraiser for them! God laid this on my heart as a way to be a blessing to this family that I love so much. So I am asking for help from those of you whom I know love them too and want this process to move along as quickly as possible. In the very near future, I will be sending information on how you can order this very special cookbook! But for now, what I need are your favorite recipes...and your prayers! Please pray that this fundraiser will happen smoothly and that it will be successful and that God will use it to make this adoption process happen in HIS timing and in HIS way!
Here is how you can share YOUR special recipes...
1.) Go to http://www.typensave.com/.
2.) Click on the "login" button.
3.) Beside "Contributor Name", enter your name as you would like it to appear in the cookbook.
4.) Group Login: Africa
5.) Password: Krausfamily
6.) Read the Welcome Page, then click on "Add Recipe".
7.) A new window will pop up that will give you instructions and allow you to easily submit a recipe.
For now, I have set the max number of recipes for the book at 300 and the max number submitted by any one person at 7. I can change that later if need be.
I am grateful in advance for those of you who will be able to submit recipes and to later purchase a cookbook! I can't wait to see the finished product!
If you have any questions, you can either send me a message on Facebook or email me at singnjen92@yahoo.com.
Thank you,
Jenny Johnson

Love to all!!!!!
