Greatest Thanksgiving Ever!!!

I just had to put a quick note on here to let you know that Shari and I are both feeling that this will be the greatest Thanksgiving ever. Even though I won't personally be able to be involved int his relief effort, I am continued to be amazed at the path that God sets before Shari and me.

Not knowing how or when the help would come, Shari planned to take meals down to Mississippi for Thanksgiving and then come back to spend it with her family. Well, God had other plans and now so does Shari. As I said before, Shari and her family will be traveling to Perkinston with Sarah and her family for Thanksgiving. They will have the joy and pleasure of spending the holiday with our new extended family in Perkinston. We weren't sure how the food was going to get into our laps but God has continued to bless us.

I personally have to thank my church, Willowbrook Baptist, for their continued support both in prayer and in help. I am thankful to have leadership like Pastor Mark and Pastor John who not only focus what the church is scheduled to help with but also are willing to help the "small" missions (ie: us). Through this leadership, we have been contacted by people within my church that are willing to help us with food and other items. I have also had the pleasure of working with Rob Peavy at the Madison Baptist Association and he has placed our trip on their calendar in the event someone calls wanting to go over the holidays.

God continues to show us that our work is not in vain, nor is it done. As Shari and I said from the get go, we are in this for the long haul. As long as God opens doors to help, we will walk through them.

Please continue to pray that we will seek His will and do it. Please pray that our needs to bring Thanksgiving to those who've lost it all will be met and exceeded. Please pray for those still living intents and under tarps because they don't have insurance. Please pray for Shari, Sarah and their families as they travel and try to bring a little joy to those who have lost so much.

Praise God for all His good. Praise Him for bringing Perkinston, Pastor Daniel's and Pastor Irvin into our lives. Praise Him for the people who have stepped up both financially and in prayer to support our mission. And thank you Lord, for you son dying for us. Without Him, we would be eternally lost.

May we touch one life for Him....
