A Season To Be Thankful

Thank you for allowing Saundra and me to be a part of your online experience. Reading your thoughts, opinions and encouragements makes us feel like family. Your kind thoughts, prayers and generous contributions have helped a lot of people. Thank you.

I realize we live in challenging times. America is going through a tough process. Notice I said ‘through’. There is a passage from the scriptures in Psalm 23 that says, “…yea though I walk through the valley…”

This is a season to be thankful. Let’s be thankful for what we have. For some people right now…I know that’s difficult. But I just believe people are better than that. I hear testimonies all the time from people who are in a really tough place, but still have a positive outlook. Your faith sparks my faith.

So have hope. Lift up you eyes and see a better day coming. Our country will not always be this way.

Yes, there may be some difficult days ahead – but it won’t last. Your better days – your family’s better days – our country’s better days are ahead. Right now, let’s be thankful. From our family to yours…

Happy Thanksgiving,

Ed and Saundra

P.S. – To my blogging family (even if you’ve never blogged), take a minute and share with us what YOU are thankful for this season. You can also forward this to a friend.

It is so wonderful to know that in the midst of all that we see going on in the world and around us, we still are encouraged by our spiritual father to remember that God has not been caught by surprise. I choose to be encouraged because my Pastor Ed and Sister Minister Saundra have layed a foundation on spiritual endurance that witnesses that Our Jesus is still Lord

I’m thankful to see marriages in the Body of Christ, stand in the mist of adversity. We know that storms rises in all of our lives, but when the man and woman (especially Pastors) of God hold on to Gods Word and ride through the storms, is truly a blessing to me. It gives me hope and lets me know that I too can have a successful marriage. Praise God !

I am so very thankful for the many blessings that
God gives me each day..The way He encourages me when I want to feel down, the way He infuses me with His joy and gives me a passion for the desires He’s placed in my heart. I’m thankful that I have a close relationship with the Lord and each year He helps me grow more and more in Christ.
I’m extremely thankful for His guidance in my challenging roles of wife,mother,daughter, friend and co-worker. I’m thankful for my pastor and his wife and their ministry that I have been a part of
for fourteen years..God is beyond good! Hallelujah!

I am thankful for spiritual growth. Growing up, Angela was my best friend and I recently got the courage to read, “What To Do When It Hurst So Bad.” I’ve never read any of your books, because I wasn’t ready for what would be said about Angela. Not even a mention of her name. I have had struggles with the health of my own children and I felt the spirit of death on someone else’s child. Praying is all I know to do. As a result of reading your book and knowing the side that Angela never told us, members at my church wil be in prayer and fasting on Dec. 21 (you know why I chose that date) for the sick and their families. I pray that you will see this and join us. I still miss Angela and think of her often. Thank you for opening up and sharing the things that she didn’t. I can’t express how much strength she gave me and how graceful she always was. You raised me spiritually from the age of 8 and I thank you for all you have taught me.

Ed and family! Thank you so much for the Word that God impart in your spirit to be a distribution for others to receives. I truly believe the Family Of God and Love Of God in our heart is where God is directing his children to abide in because you can have all the material things liffe has to offer, and that is only an exchange to see them conme and go. Our God Said He will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us. I asl that you continue to pray for family and unsaved spouse and backslider. God said every knee must bow and every tongue must confess. That tells us even the riches pppperson in their worldlyness orr goods will need Jesus. God is exposing and cleansing for prepartion of his anointing. Pray for my marriage and family . It Is well !!!
