Thankful for:

-Monday, November 1st - Rain! (Joel 2:22-24)
I was sitting in the recliner about to update my blog, and just about the moment I began to think about what I was thankful for tonight, I heard a few drops of rain hitting the window. Rain. I am thankful that God provides those refreshing, heavenly drops just when He knows we need them. I have wanted rain for my grass and plants for some time, and our faithful God is providing the refreshing rain as I type. Thank You, God, for providing the Rain and beautiful weather that we are able to enjoy.




-Sunday, October 31st - Church! (Acts 2:42-47)
Today was an incredible day--Church was wonderful. God continues to bless New Hope with visitors. We are moving forward with some building expansions to accommodate growth. We spent the afternoon with many church folks at a community Halloween event. I received an amazing gift of letters from church family for Pastor Appreciation Month--New Hope is a great blessing to myself and so many others. As I think of Acts 2:42-27, I keep thinking of how we are heading this direction and how faithful God is to New Hope. I have been part of several churches in my life, but I am so blessed to call New Hope Christian Church my "home", and I am so thankful that God allows me to be the Pastor to such wonderful people.


-Saturday, October 30th - Friends! (John 21:4-6)
God has blessed me at different times and different seasons of my lives with many friends. I am so thankful and glad to have each person at that point in my life. I am also very thankful for those that currently bless me and my family in so many ways. I am glad to be called a friend by many, and so thankful to have so many others that I can call, "friend"!
