“After our mission trip to Mexico this year, I’m very conscience of being thankful for what I DO have….not what I’d LIKE to have. I’ve also learned a little more about knowing the difference between a “need” and a “want”. I’m thankful we live in a GREAT country and are blessed with MORE than 2/3’rds of the worlds popu…lation. I didn’t choose where I was born or what I have…but I’m VERY thankful for it!! I give God all the glory!”

“God is so very good. I am so very thankful for His loving kindness, His mercy, and His grace. This has been a very difficult year for me and my family. We lost our oldest son, Jonathan this past April 29th. Losing my son has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through, yet when I think of what God the Father di…d for the whole world by giving His only Son, Jesus Christ to die for us on a cross because of our sins, I am then reminded of the power of His love and His grace for me. I miss my son very much, but I am THANKFUL unto the Lord for the promise of seeing him again someday!”

As I look back over the past year, I have been through so many trials and battles. But, I am glad that I have a God that has been my abiding peace through it all! I have so much to be grateful for and everyday, I celebrate the goodness of His mercy, the precious little grand daughters that He has given me and just t…he pure essence of life itself. And, I love living in the greatest of all Nations in this world and the freedoms that we still have and I am forever grateful to the men and women that sacrifice their lives everyday so we can celebrate those gifts. All in all, I have so much to be thankful for…but most of all, MY relationship with Christ and knowing He loves me unconditionally even though, I am big work in progress!”
