Hello Heart Partners! Are you all ready for a week of celebrating our American THANKSGIVING? No matter where you are in the world…I want to share my deepest gratitude for each of you! YAHUAH has been, and is so so GOOD! I am reminded of 1Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to Adonai for He is good, for His mercy endures forever.” His mercy and grace are such a comfort, and to know that it endures forever…WOW! A Big heart hug! I could never thank Him enough for each relationship He has given me around the world. Whether they have been for a short season, or have endured over time…I treasure each one, as each has enhanced my life for the good!

THANKSGIVING week will forever be special to me, as that is when my husband moved home to heaven! I will be eternally grateful for George as a husband, best friend and Dad to our amazing daughter! For those of you who also have loved ones in heaven, I hold your heart, and ask our Father to give you HIS peace that passes all understanding, while He gives you a BIG HUG!

Holidays can bring up a lot of emotions…but I believe while we are still on earth, we have the opportunity to always show grace and gratitude in all circumstances! I am reminded of 1Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray constantly, in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Messiah YESHUA.” It’s not always easy…but what if we made a commitment and worked together to be the very best witnesses we can be to strangers, family, and friends! Will it be worth it? Absolutely, as we are known for our actions…our witness! Are you ready? Let’s do it! SHINE YOUR LIGHT!

I believe our Father gives us these opportunities to keep our eyes on Him, and stay focused on our true purpose here on earth! As we strive to be HIS light and living testimonies…I love to ponder what it will be like…Psalms 100:4 I desire to…”Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Praise Him, bless His name.” What a delight to think about giving Him praise with our day to day lives…but especially during the Holidays as we can impact more friends, family, and strangers too!

As I remain in a sitting position…(week #9) healing, I am moved yet again to pray for the gentleman whose dogs charged at us…I love our Messiah’s words in Matthew 5:44-45 “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” Reading HIS words, and knowing HE has HIS best plans for me, moves my heart to compassion…and I pray for him! What a privilege…and I thank our Father for all of those known and unknown prayer warriors who prayed for me throughout my life’s journey!

I encourage each of you as the Holiday season gets busier…take time to rest, read His word, chat with our Father, and don’t forget to have FUN! If things get tough…retreat and recalibrate as HE leads you! You are all in my thoughts and prayers…and once again I give so much THANKS for all of you!

Sending lots of love…

Shalom,
