God showed me today just how rich we are! I had the privilege of having my mom and her parents over for lunch today and through conversation I was amazed again at all I've been given. I am so grateful for my godly heritage... both of my parents were raised in godly households. My Nana and Poppop are with Jesus now, but I get to enjoy a wonderful relationship with my Mommom and Poppop... and for years I got to enjoy a relationship with my great-grandparents too (who came to know the Lord later in life, but no one waited for heaven with such great expectation as my Gamu did!) Over lunch today I got to pick my Poppop's brain about this election, health insurance, and Jake's job and I received such encouragement from all of them about how I'm doing as a mom. It was such a privilege to receive so much affirmation from them about what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. I never have to doubt there love for me... they are so proud of everything I do! And the way they love Jake is so sweet... my Poppop was going on and on today about how smart Jake is and how he thinks ahead. It is so nice to hear so many wonderful things about my husband from a man I respect so much! And they adore Mackenzie... Poppop was continually saying just how smart she is (mingled with stories about just how smart my mom was as a baby!) They are such a joy to be around, they love each other so much and are just such grateful people... I want to be like that! Poppop is so enjoying working three days a week now, he is so grateful that he gets to do things like have lunch with his wife, daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter... and it means so much to me that that is how he likes to spend his time!
Here's a video of Mackenzie showing off for Mommom and Poppop... they were so proud of her!

About Me
- The Three Moons:
- I am a sinner saved by grace and I married my best friend, Jake, in May 2005! God has blessed us with three adorable little girls that we get to raise together in a beautiful home in the most charming neighborhood in America! They are a joy to raise and continually make us aware of our need for a Savior! We are thankful the Lord did not leave us in our sin, but sent His Son Jesus to die in our place, bearing the just wrath of God that we deserved, and giving to us Christ's righteousness instead. Through His grace and forgiveness, we now are free to love Him who saved us and to extend the mercy we've been shown to each other. We pray our little ones will come to know Christ and that we will be faithful to proclaim the good news of Jesus to them not only with our words, but with our actions and our interactions with each other. So please enjoy reading about the Moon family, we're so glad you stopped by!
