Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I got the newsletter and was so impressed I read it twice. We do have so much to be thankful for and I think that we take so much for granted. Sometimes things have to be lost before we seem to be thankful for what we have. My marriage fell apart and I couldn't hold it together, then both of my parents became ill and needed to have 24 hour care. Work became very slow and hours were cut, then out of nowhere I was terminated. The Lord has blessed me with so much, I have my health and the love of my family but above all of that, I have the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just when I was so low, so down, not knowing which way to turn, and as I prayed a peace came over me. I looked around and saw all that I had. My family at church has given me so much support, love, comfort and guidance. When we think we have it so bad all we need to do is look around and we are sure to fine another who has a lot less. Yes Thanksgiving is everyday, every hour, every minute of our lives. With every breath that is within us we should all say " Thanks be to God"
