Give Thanks in all things . . .

God tells us to give thanks in all circumstances. As I look back over this last year, I am counting the many blessings that he has given me. We have made it through a few downs as well as the ups but He is ever faithful and provides for our every need.

Gary and I have 4 wonderful daughters married to godly Christian men. We have 2 grandchildren that can melt our hearts with a simple smile or reach. Both Gary and I have jobs that are providing for the needs that we have. We have a home that we can live in without concern for the cold. We have cars that take us to visit our children. We have clothing to keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We have food or enough money to purchase food to keep us nourished. AND we have a God who loves us more than we can even imagine!!

Our wish for you is to have a wonderful time with family or friends this Thanksgiving. And as you eat from the bounty of what has been provided, remember to thank God for all he has done for you this year.
