Happy ThanksgivingToday in South Africa, it is a gorgeous summer day.
There is not a hint of Thanksgiving but Christmas in everywhere.
But for me, as for most Americans, before Christmas, is this uniquely American day and there are so many reasons that fill my
grateful heart today. How can I ever express my thanks to God for his love that fills my life and gives me purpose. So to you Lord is my first thank you for life, a great career in Christian service and, now, this chance to help others and learn how to trust God more. I am so thankful for all of the students whose lives have touched mine here in our sewing and computer classes.I am thankful for my family whose love encircles me here, so many miles away, for their support and encouragement. I am so thankful for my church communities, The Falls Church, Muizenberg Community Church and King of Kings Baptist Center that help me to serve God with strength and joy. I am so thankful for the friends I have at home and for new ones here in South Africa. I will enjoy a Saturday Thanksgiving with them. I am so thankful for all of you who support Evangeline Ministries, your ind words, advice and visits and help in so many ways. Today I am thankful,with a grateful heart for all of the above and more.
