Thankful

Since it doesn’t quite feel like fall here it is easy to forget that the holidays are quickly approaching. In trying to keep in mind that it will be Thanksgiving soon I just wanted to share some of the things we are thankful for.
We are so thankful for a God who is THE God, The Way, The Truth and The Light. And we are very thankful to have grown up and currently live in a country where we are free to worship our God in public without fear.
We are thankful for over two years of teamwork with you! Without your prayers, cards, phone calls, packages, financial support and other creative ways you have supported us this would not have been possible.
We are thankful for the last year of good health, for flushing toilets, an oven, and electricity!
We are thankful for our friends and “family” here in Kenya that help make it feel more like home.
We are thankful for the many opportunities God has given us for ministry. Thankful for Taylor’s chance to help set up an East African Media Epicenter (that sounds so fancy doesn’t it) and for Allison to get to help out with the short-term program this year.
We are thankful for a really great daughter who amazes us daily and for a son who we can’t wait to meet! I could go on and on but will stop at that!
We are thankful for finding a church we feel we can use our gifts in, get fed the Word, and has a great children’s ministry.
And last but not least I am thankful for Taylor getting in a few trips before this little guy makes his arrival but VERY thankful he is coming home in a week!
Those are just a few that come to mind. What are you thankful for this year?

Thankful are we for health, a church that keeps God central and serve those locally and globally, and friends. Thankful for you, for Phil III living in Tulsa, for God's presence and leading each day in our hearts and lives. We are filled with joy for we have so very much for which to be grateful each day, and especially this week of our nation's observance of Thanksgiving to God. We are blessed to be a blessing to others near and around the world. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Thankful to our Lord Jesus for saving me from my sins. Thankful for being home with my 3 sons for Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Thankful for a loving husband who works very hard to provide and take care of his family (even if it means working halfway around the world). Thankful for (after a year and half of praying) that my eldest son Adam has finally a job as a CAD draftsman (in which he graduated and received an assoc degree in a year and half ago)!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Thankful that my son Josh graduates from Univ of Houston soon! And thankful that my youngest son Andrew has around two years left of college at the Houston Bapt Univ. Thankful that God is so good and with us in every trial in this life. Thankful for God's provision of christian family and fellowship and the study of His Word with fellow believers while living overseas. Thankful for ALL our Lord's many, many blessings! May God bless each of you this Thanksgiving as you give thanks to Him.
