Phil 1:3 I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you
But for some reason I have the Dominican Republic on my mind. 2 years ago, I went with a group from my church to a little city called Loma de los Palos [I believe that was the name] in Dominican Republic. Even though I was away from my family I really enjoyed being with the special people there. We took a group of 11 from my church and literally preached in the streets, on the side of the mountains and in homes. It was amazing, I loved every minute of it. So today, I am giving thanks for the opportunities in which I was able to be a short term missionary. I was working with kids who literally have nothing but still show so much joy. And today, I'm grateful for a job where I minister to kids from other countries on a daily basis. That is true joy! I'm so thankful to God.....he knows just what we need!

These head lamps came in handy when preaching in the streets where there was no electricity! |

I wish I could be there today to give a big hug to all the kids I met while I was there.
Enjoy your day with the ones you love most!
Happy day to give THANKS!
