With a Thankful Heart! Day 6

I am THANKFUL for our church! Especially the Children's Ministry.
 I LOVE the small family like community we have there and I love that everyone knows each other! It is no nice to know the teachers truly love our kids! Today Gracie was in a new class since she is now 3!!!!!! and you should have seen the sad looks on her teacher's faces... she has been with them since we started June '10 and they truly adore and care for her! Of course we already knew her new teachers and they love her just as much but still.. sad!

We really love and appreciate the head of Children's Ministry Mrs. Friend!! She has snuggled my girls from the moment we met her! She is always giving them love and I just can't get enough of how much they love her back!!! When Ella was itty bitty she would scoop her up and hold her from the second we walked in the door! She is not only amazing with the kiddos but she is always willing to help! She was with David in the waiting room as I went into surgery and constantly followed up!! She is a rock and one amazing prayer princess and we are so grateful for her!

We are so THANKFUL that the Lord called us to Harvest! They have been such prayer warriors for our medical struggles and emotional roller coasters! They had planned on being at Briella's birth but when she decided to come a month early in the craziness of that day (I am sure you ALL remember) they missed it!  Some dear and wonderful women still to this day ask how we are doing... they truly care!!!

We have been so blessed to have the opportunity to serve there!! David and I are both staff leaders to the amazing mid high group and we love our kids so much! They are challenging, fun, energetic and are so young and trusting in their faith! We also get to serve with the babies... once a month we get to take turns holding, rocking, bottle feeding... oh it is the PERFECT baby fix... for this season in our lives ;)

today I am THANKFUL for Harvest Bible Chapel and can't wait to see how the Lord will use us in the body!
