Our Blog is all about Thanksgiving every day! We have really enjoyed being able to put our blessings here on the Blog and share them with you. If you have received the Blog today we thank God for you! You are counted as a blessing to us. It would be cool if I could put a mirror to the left where the girls picture is then you would be the one in the photo that we are giving thanks for.
We are so thankful for how God used the Pilgrims and their amazing faithfulness to bring us to the first Thanksgiving. We pray that we will never forget what it is we are celebrating; not a day off from work, a time to party with friends, or eat till you can't move. (We will probably do the eating part) Thanksgiving is a time just as any time should be about God! How we should be on our face before a Holy God that He would even give us life. I will never stop being awe struck by the fact that not only did He give me life He died a horrible death so that I could live forever with out pain, without worry, an eternity with Him in peace true peace that we can only know through Him. As Jesse Armstrong, missionary to Russia, reminded us so powerfully on Sunday night, in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."(Mr. Armstrong is fighting ALS please join us in praying for him and his family.). Good or bad God is in control and is working all things out for good. We have not put the hard times on this Blog but we do have them often. We thank God for them too. We have grown and are still growing through difficult times, we learn to trust our Lord. We are most thankful for Christ and that He would chose us!!! WOW! What changed lives Peter and I are, how beautiful is Christ in us and how ugly our own nature. I don't know about you but this lump of clay is still being worked on big time and for that I am thankful too. We pray that you and your family will be blessed this Thanksgiving as we have been by the saving grace found only in Jesus Christ!
Please feel free to look through the blog and see all that we have been thankful for.
