The Thanksgiving Blog

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the number of negative news way surpasses any good news when you flip open your newspaper each morning? Sure, there are terrorism concerns, economic crises and many more everyday hiccups in life that take joy away from us.  But rather than sinking to feed on those negative news, my co-author of this blog, Steph and I decided that despite all the bad news, we should always remember that there is a God who is GREATER than the bad news and our problems. Even in the midst of bad times, we want to find time to thank God for all the blessings He has given to us.

As Christmas draws near, we thought this is the perfect time to start this blog!

We want to celebrate life. And eventhough we may at times post our struggles and share our problems, our goal is to pray and look back some day to say ”hey, look what God has seen me through and blessed me with!” That ultimately, God has always taken care of us and been in control.

Stephanie is an ex-colleague, a great friend and a beautiful sister-in-Christ. We often meet to share how rough the world has been and how people and work have caused fear and discouragement in our lives, but we never forget to remind each other that if we really take a step back and see all the good things that happen, even if they are just little things, we should still be giving thanks.

We hope to share these little joys, revelations and little thanksgiving notes with friends and whoever comes across this blog.

So, join us in our celebration! And when we fall, pray for us!

(PS: we are not preachers or full time church workers. We are just two ordinary girls who believe that God sent His Son to redeem us and with that comes prosperity, grace, health and endless blessings).

Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
