This weekend we had the chance to go to Missouri to see Matt's sister and her family. We were at first hesitant to leave, after all we have a few things to take care of. We started listing what we needed to do to go and how it would take some time to get everyone packed and what would we do with our puppy? Oh, and we decided this on Wednesday and we were leaving Thursday. But we were going, thanks to some great friends who agreed to watch our puppy and everything will be fine.
We decided to go and just relax and give ourselves a break. We have been going nonstop as does everyone with kids, but now we added our mission trip to the mix. We needed a break and a chance to allow ourselves time to just step back and breathe. We needed to look at all God has done for us up to this point. It seems when we pray we always ask for help or for God to provide. Well, this time we want our prayers to be that of thanksgiving.
We have so much to thank God for as He has provided for all our needs....
Our thanksgiving prayer.... We are thankful for God meeting our everyday needs, good health, a wonderful job, beautiful home, a great working furnace. But we are also thankful that we will get a break from winters and wearing big heavy coats to stay warm. We are thankful that our kids will see another place and truly be able to feel what it is like to help someone in need. We are grateful for our families who are so supportive and willing to help us in every way possible. We are thankful for our new missionary friends who are so willing to find us a home and check on it frequently. We are so blessed to have friends we can trust to rent our house while we are gone. We are grateful for our church, who is behind us and encourages us along our journey. We also appreciate that there are so many who are faithfully praying and giving to us financially, some that we have yet to meet. This is not a complete list, but just the things I can think of right now.
Lastly thank you all for continuing to believe with us and support us.
