Giving Thanks

My Sister

Friends
Church
Illinois family
The sound of babies' babble
The Past
The Present
The Future
Crisp fall weather
The Baltimore Ravens
Grandma's homemade noodles
This morning's run

The way God speaks to my heart
Jesus
His unfailing love
His Grace
His Forgiveness
His Joy
His Presence

What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving season? 

I was reminded this morning of a video of a feeding program in the Dominican Republic.  The children in this video are from Redenccion (Redemption) Village where I'll be soon.  

The point of showing this video to you is not to make you feel guilty or selfish, but to share how good our Lord is and how He moves in the smallest of hearts!  Even though God has provided a feeding program for these children, you can see that there still isn't enough food for everyone.

The first few seconds of the clip are touching and you'll see why. 




No matter where we are in life,
how much or how little we have,
how small, big, young, or old we are,
there is always something for which to be grateful, 
and always something to share.   

I pray that your Thanksgiving is filled with joy as you remember and share the goodness of God's love!
