Friends,
The year is coming to a close. We just finished Thanksgiving and so now we are getting ready for Christmas and if we have
not we are beginning our Christmas shopping and starting to put up our Christmas decorations for time goes so fast
during this time, for there is so much that we have to do. Life at times go so fast and at other times it seems to stand
still. God uses us in the times that it moves fast and in the times that it stands still. A watch pot takes as much time
to boil when we watch it as when we don't but it seems to take longer. The end of the year will be upon us before we know
it and we need to get ourselves ready for it before we realize it. 2011 is closing and 2012 will be upon us before we realize
it. I want to ask all of you to consider what you want to do for us and this ministry. As you plan your plan your
Christmas gifts and who you will send cards to and your gifts for the end of the end of the year, do not forget those that
have blessed you. I recently had some money and the first thing
I did was to give it to the ministries that blessed me and so I blessed them and asked the Lord who I should give it to.
We have blessed you and I hope that you will bless us with your giving for Paul said you should bless the ones that
feed you. We should receive of your substance because of what we give you, just as you pay a bill in a restaurant bless
the ones who feed you for God wants us all to bless each other that is why HE gives us these blessings. Some have finances
and some can teach. The ones who can teach should go forth and give to those that need to receive so they can receive.
I give thanks to God for the ministry that I have. I do desire more things
from God and will never be satisfied until I get to Heaven for otherwise I will not stop growing or desiring to expand.
I pray you will be blessed no matter what your situation. We have many who have contacted me that have orphanages in many
countries and pray that you keep them in mind. Abraham was a blessing to others and was blessed of God. May you do
the same!

Dear Friends,
Tell me what do you have to be thankful for this week? This week we celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving and focus on the
reasons we have to praise God, but we should always be thankful for what God is doing in us, through us and for us. There
is always a reason to be thankful for the Lord, Too many people find fault with the Lord but God is worthy of all praise.
So many have nothing and yet we are not thankful for what we do have. Many on this day go to soup kitchens and see what
the poorer have, or do charitable work to realize the blessings that we do have. We sit back and eat turkey and watch
TV and because our team did not win or we did not get what we thought we deserved then we are not thankful. We compare
ourselves to our friends and so we are not thankful. We should be thankful because of who God is in our life and that we
have life. God has not abandoned you and yet we do not realize the blessings we have. Let us rejoice for HE is.
Look back and see how it was under the law and you will be really thankful you did
not live back then. Achan stole and his family died. If you lied or committed adultery you could be stoned. That cut
down on infedelity! The 10 Commandments were not suggestions! Break them and many died! Worship an idol and die! Things
were rough then! No tv and the luxuries we have now! You have it good so be glad you have it as good as you do and give to
the ministries that bless you for they are of God and God wants you to support the place you get fed!
