Happy Thanksgiving!!!


Happy Thanksgiving Dear Family and Friends!

We LOVE this time of year…for us, we have snow already which is even more special. It just seems to make the season complete somehow. Then there’s the baking of pies and cookies, the preparations for a huge meal with friends and family…turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, various vegetables, and in our house…countless ‘snack’ items to get us ready for the meal!  It’s just a great time of fellowship and giving thanks for our many blessings over the past year.

And what does God’s Word say about ‘thanksgiving’? There aren’t enough pages or hours to share in depth; however, we’d like to share just a few things we found to remind us of how to give thanks! In Leviticus, we see ‘physical’ offerings given in thanks to God for His countless blessings. The Psalms are filled with numerous exaltations to give thanks with joy, shouts of joy, in song, with all our heart, with praise and glory for Him only….you can picture an endless parade of worshipers giving thanks in ‘all’ things to Him who is so worthy.

What are ‘we’ thankful for? YOU! Each one of you; who so faithfully lifts us in prayer, sends us emails with words of encouragement and love, and financial support for the work we have been given. We are so blessed! THANK YOU



Giving Thanks with Joy,
Kevin & Laura
