NM Mission Trip...Happy Thanksgiving

Hey family,

Just a quick update on the NM Family 2 Family mission trip, it was incredible! Through selfless service the Navajo people were blessed, the gospel was proclaimed, our partnership with them was furthered, our eyes were opened, and we as a 10 car line of missionaries did lots of “livin’ and lovin’” together. All for the GLORY of GOD in the name above all names, JESUS.

Thank you so much to EVERYONE, for all the prayers, contributions, and participation. We all had to pull together for this one and it was evident in the successful outcome of the trip.

We’ll have a slide show and some folks to share a little this Sunday! Also this Sunday, we’ll continue our Life In HD series and have Communion as well. We’ll see you then!

In the mean time, before we dig in to all that Turkey day goodness around the table, take time to thank God for all He has blessed you with. Then, maybe spend some time thanking God for being GOD. I posted the following on my Facebook status today: Thankful for so many things, but on my mind today, that FACT that His "...steadfast love is better than life..." -Psalm 63:3 Speaking about the things of this earth: "These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams, but God is the ocean" -Jonathan Edwards

And remember, for us as Christians, Thanksgiving is not merely a holiday, BUT A WAY OF LIFE:

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.1 Thess 5:16-18

After all, we have been saved by Grace through Faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Who humbly came to earth, lived a sinless life, suffered the horrific cross, overcame sin and death that we may have abundant life in Him and spend eternity with GOD. (Eph 2:8-9, Phil 2:3-4, Rom 10:9, John 10:10, 1 John 5:11-12)

Have a great Thanksgiving GBF,

Roy
