Time to Give Thanks!
November is the month of giving thanks. It is a great time to reflect on our lives and realize how blessed we are. Even when our lives are riddled with trials and tribulations, we can always seek God's blessings and joys. Nobody has a perfectly happy life, but our attitude and approach make our lives a curse or a gift. Let's be very intentional about being grateful for the innumerable blessings God showers on us every day. Mother Teresa said, "Be thankful for small things, for it is in them your strength lies."
I hope you enjoyed the fabulous Chili Cook-Off. It was beautiful to see all the families there. The chili was out of this world. Beer Garden was amazing. The decorations were fantastic, the raffle prizes were very cool, and everybody had a great time. It took several parents and many hours of hard work to bring this event to fruition. I sincerely thank Heather Vinson, Katerina Dewing, Lindsey Ward, Michelle Leary, Rebecca, and Chris Sparks for leading this event. I also thank the parents who made the chili, decorated the booths, the judges who picked the winning chili, and the volunteers who helped to set up and clean up. Seeing so many alums come back to celebrate with us was also fantastic. Congratulations to all the winners!
'Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.' ~1 Chronicle 16:34S
