With the Thanksgiving holiday here, one can't help but begin counting their blessings. As I prayed with my husband this morning, we thanked the Lord for our family, the blessing of a home, provision, and most importantly for His love for us!
I challenge each one of you today in the midst of the cooking and cleaning, driving and shopping, to make sure that you are truly celebrating this Thanksgiving the way it was intended. Being THANKFUL! We are so blessed in America to have so much and want for very little compared to the majority of countries around the world. Believe me, I've been there. Americans have it all! In Chile, on our first mission journey, we ministered to a village where families lived in small shacks with dirt floors. In Poland, we walked through train stations filled with people begging for coins. Yes, we do have needs in America but the majority of us have never felt the sting of hunger having gone days without food or been cold and could not find shelter. BE THANKFUL! God has blessed us with so much. He is the source of all good things. James 1:17 states "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
Happy Thanksgiving West County Families and Friends!
