God’s Word is a Lamp
‘I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel form the first day until now.’ Philippians 1:3-5
As we move towards Thanksgiving and reflect on our many blessings, I feel this little poem is an accurate reflection.
‘You’ve Made a Difference’
As Thanksgiving Day approaches,
Our blessings we recall;
The things we are most thankful for,
We recollect them all.
You are really special,
In all you say and do.
You’ve made a difference in lives;
We’re thankful now for you.
-Joanna Fuchs
Our Lord and Savior has gifted each and every one of you with talents that are a special package for you. As redeemed children of God, we shepherd children and their families with those special gifts. You touch so many more people each day with the love of Jesus than you even imagine.
I give thanks for the dedication and faith of all workers daily in prayer. May our work be blessed by the Father.
Thank you for all you do and Happy Thanksgiving!
Serving the Master Teacher,
Lois
