Dear Friends,
Some of my FB friends posted their Thankfulness each day of
November. Gratefulness is a beautiful trait, and it warmed my heart to share in
theirs. And now as I try to string together a chain of my own, I see how
difficult it is to limit the number of links.
ü
We are thankful for God’s grace in our lives. We
don’t deserve anything, but He blessed us with forgiveness and strength to live
each day.

ü
We are thankful for a Christian family. We were
so blessed to have a Christian heritage, and our longing is to pass the legacy
on to our children (whom we are also thankful for.) We have been fortunate to
maintain close contact with our young men, and are watching God work in their
lives.
ü
We are thankful for lodging and food, which are
provided here. Our apartment is small, but comfortable, and the daily offerings
from the cafeteria are prepared under the guidance of a gifted and trained
chef.
ü
We are thankful for our classes – my sixth grade
and Roger’s third grade -- and to be part of God’s plan for their lives. Yes,
the classroom situation is difficult, but we know that the enemy wants to steal
these young sheep before they really hear about God’s love and decide to follow
Jesus. We just don’t know how long students will attend here, so each hour with
them is vital.
ü
We are thankful for our co-laborers who come
from all over the country with hearts to serve God and hearts for the Navajo
children. Our friends here exude encouragement, enthusiasm, and the joy of the
Lord.
ü
We are thankful for the Christmas Season and
opportunities to share the Incarnation story with children who truly don’t know
what a manger is.
ü
We are grateful for friends and prayer partners
and your prayers and gifts. We have always felt buoyed by your prayers and
concerns for our little chunk of God’s work here in Navajo County.

| What I am Thankful For |
ü
And we are grateful for our great God who hears
and answers prayers. He is good, and His mercy is everlasting. He never changes
and never reproaches when we ask for wisdom in faith.
With gratefulness
