Thanksgiving 2k11

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! Ryan and I headed to Manning last Wednesday night. We were blessed to have our entire family there- Mom, Ken, Little Ken, Quin, Angie, Acie, Mae Harmon, Elizabeth, Tripp, Eadon, Ragin, Anna & Davis....Quite a crew!!! It was a blast. We all went to the pond house with the extended family for Thanksgiving day. We had a delicious meal where you could pick from baked turkey, fried turkey or bbq turkey, the best sweet potato casserole, peas, rice, dressing, cranberry sauce, ham, fruit salad, biscuits...and it was all delicious. We had chocolate delight for dessert.

It was a bittersweet time because it was our first holiday without our sweet Daddy Scott. We were all sad, but we tried to think of how happy he would have been to be with all of us and how much he loved his family. We took some time to celebrate his memory and enjoy one of his favorite spots-the pond.

The boys fished for a very long time and Ryan caught a TON of fish. We rode four-wheelers around the farm and just hung out, laughed and talked. The boys went hunting in the afternoon, and Quin and Acie got a buck. They were sitting in the same stand and shot it together....such a cool memory.  Here are some pics..

Friday night we celebrated Christmas. It was a little tough to get it all together before Thanksgiving, but I am thankful we could celebrate in person together because the Hatfield clan will be in Chicago this year. Saturday most of the family went to the Clemson-Carolina game but I got sick so I didn't go. I did get some quality time with Mama Scott which was good though. And, Go Gamecocks!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
