As a church family, we have much to be thankful for. Here is some of what was shared on Wednesday evening last week, as we gave thanks to God together for His amazing kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
- So thankful for the trials in our lives that have drawn us, as a family, closer to Christ. My health issues have been overwhelming at times and yet God continues to be faithfully beside me, healing me and providing.
- As a young Christian, I am extremely thankful that I can clearly see God laying out a path for me. I find peace of mind knowing that I can think about my future & know that it is in God’s hands and He has the road all mapped out for me
- God has been so faithful through my trial of cancer this past year. The body was so amazing in supporting both me and my family. Surrounding us with love and compassion. Through this trial, I have been able to minister to other women who are now facing cancer. It is pure joy to share with them how my faith and hope reside in my great Almighty God! I can’t wait for heaven, where I will get a new glorified whole body.
- I am thankful to love my family, to follow Christ to be saved, and that Jesus is always forever the same.

- I am thankful for my priorities, friends and family. I am thankful for food, water, house and clothes. And I am really thankful for FBC for teaching me about the God, Lord, Holy Spirit and the gospel. And for teaching me tons and tons of memory verses. My favorite verse is Romans 10:17, “faith comes by hearing and hearing comes from the Word of God.” I say that every day to myself.

- I am thankful for the safe delivery of our son almost 8 weeks ago, and for the Lord sustaining me through his week-long stay in the NICU. God grew my husband and I through that experience, bringing us to a place where we had nothing but Him. It was a long week, but at the end we were able to say that Christ alone brought us through. I am thankful for my family who is so giving, and our wonderful RMG for discipling and giving me and challenging me to be more like Christ.
- I am thankful for Jesus.
- I am thankful for Gods grace in my life. God has provided a job after 4 months of unemployment, continued health during time of unemployment, I am Thankful for FBC’s boldness to continue to preach the Word week after week unashamedly. I am thankful that God is much smarter that I am, even when I don’t understand my circumstances because He is always faithful.
