HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Jeffrey and I want to wish each of you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving. We pray that peace, love, unity, health, bounty and gratitude would be upon every member of your household and that it would be found around your table this year.
We are so incredibly thankful this year as we cherish the miracle of our new granddaughter whose adoption was finalized just this week. After twelve years of prayers, longings, tears and hope— she finally arrived this past August.
She is yet another example of the faithfulness of God. He keeps his promises and gives us so much to be thankful for.
Psalm 107:21-22: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind”.
He is merciful in so many ways and his mercies are without end. Though we are not deserving of such bounty and beauty— he surely shows us unfailing love and performs wonderful deeds on our behalf.
We also want to extend love and prayers toward any of our readers that are hurting or grieving at this time. Our hearts are with you and even if we do not know you— we pray for your comfort, your peace and his presence to surround you.
Psalm 34:18: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
We pray peace upon your homes as you cross into the Christmas season with thanksgiving and praise. This is how we are to enter the gateway of each new season. We join you in songs of joy because our Savior came into the world to save mankind.
Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”
Unto us! He was born unto us— given unto us— carrying everything we will ever hope or need. There is so much to be thankful for…we have been given eternal hope.
We also want to especially thank those who support our ministry financially throughout the year. The holidays can be especially challenging for ministries and families so thank you for every one time gift and for those who give to us monthly. Please know that we continually pray for each one of you and give thanks for you daily.
Many Blessings Upon This Thanksgiving Day!
Jeffrey & Kathi Pelton
