Thankful Hearts

Abbey and Anna dressed up for Thanksgiving. Aren't they precious?

Since our whole mission was in for our prayer retreat we got together to share in a Thanksgiving meal as well. We had lots of good food and fellowship!

Whenever one of our mk's are about to graduate we have a special recognition time for them. Since we have all had to cut our budgets(financial crisis) we will not be having our annual meeting this next year so this was the last time the whole mission family would be together before Zach graduates. Franklin and John shared a little bit about Zach and then Paula presented him with a gift.

Paula presented him with a copper plaque of Victoria Falls on it. Then she prayed for him.

Zach shared a special thank you to his mission family for the gift they gave him.

We have so much to be thankful for! I thought I would list a few of the things I am thankful for. These are not in any particular order.

1-Family

2-Our boys are home from school and we are together as a family once again.

3-Good health

4-A great mission family!

5-Salvation

6-Rain!

7-All 3 of our children have prayed to receive Christ!

8-Friends-far and near.

9-We live and serve as missionaries in Zambia.

10-A relationship with Jesus Christ!

11-Internet so we can communicate with friends and family all over the world.

12-Plenty of food!

13-A great husband whom I love very much.

14-A truck that gets us where we need to go.

Of course, I could go on and on and hope that you could too. When we are tempted to complain lets remember how much we truly have to be thankful for.
