Give Thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Our family has been blessed by Barbara Rainey’s book, “Growing Together in Gratitude.” It’s been a joy to discuss giving thanks in all things and recount all the ways we see God at work, especially in difficulties.
Here are just a few of the things our family has been giving God thanks for as we entrust Him with our hearts:
- · Luke is thankful his tennis elbow, that has been bothering him for a long time now, causes him to be dependent on God and not on his abilities.
- · Eliana is thankful to have a sister. A few years ago, we didn’t even know if Eliana would have a sibling and now, though they fight sometimes, they are the best of friends!
- · Covid has been a difficult season for us all. We are thankful for the hope we have in Christ. Furthermore, God has used Covid to bring us to the decision to homeschool which has been wonderful for our family!
- · We continue to be amazed how God built us a house! Words can’t begin to express how grateful we are. Not only did He build us a house, but He planned for us to be neighbors with two other little girls! The kids love playing together. And we are thankful for a neighborhood with many believers and the community we have with them.

And of course, we are so very grateful for you! You support us faithfully and encourage us to make Jesus known to so many young people through our ministry. Nothing in this world ultimately gives us hope apart from Jesus. We get the amazing privilege to be lights in a dark world. We don’t do it alone, but together with you, we link arms to proclaim the truth and love of God found only in Jesus!
With much love and thanksgiving,
