This year we are spending Thanksgiving in India - and guess what? It's not a holiday in this Hindu nation. It's not even celebrated by the Christians here. What a strong reminder that America and Canada are not the center of the world. (Yes I had to include my native country - even though you northerners celebrate Thanksgiving earlier than we do.)
What a great time to change our perspective. To focus our hearts and minds on the amazing blessings we enjoy - every day - not because it's an official holiday.
What if we were to turn Thanksgiving into Thanks-living. What if we made it a habit to thank the Lord every day - in every situation. For the big things - and the small things. Science has proven that living a life of gratitude benefits every aspect of our lives.

During this season of Thanksgiving, and throughout the year, Gary and I want you to know how grateful we are for you. Your love, your prayers, your support, every encouraging word - it all makes an impact in our lives and the lives of those we minister to.
