During this day we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. When my family would get together we would normally have a time where we go around the table and share things we are thankful for.
Thankful for Friends
We are thankful for friends and many who reached out to us during this year of the pandemic. We are thankful for those who we have stayed in contact with even when in quarantine.
Thankful for Projects
We are thankful for the various projects that we have been able to work on. There were projects for the church and projects for the Sítio da Esperança and even personal projects that were completed this year.
Thankful for Language Growth
I am thankful for my language growth over this past year. It has been hard during the quarantine but I have had some people really give me some good feedback.
Thankful for our Son
We are thankful for the health of our son and this great pregnancy that we have experienced during this year. It was not always the easiest but it has been a blessing.
Thankful for the Bible Studies
We are thankful for the Bible Studies that have continued using zoom and then returned to meeting in person.
Thankful for Corporate Worship with the Church Body
We are thankful for the ability to meet as a corporate body and worship in person. We were reminded this year of the sweetness of worshiping in person and not over the internet.
Thankful for Christ
Most of all we are thankful for Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and Savior. We rest in his word and in his character. We were dead in our sins until he made us alive. We would be completely lost without his saving work. We are also comforted by his character and knowing that as a good Lord he will provide and protect us. In days of lots of uncertainty it is a blessing to be able to rest in him
