Why do I forget how much Jesus gave for me? When I remember to be thankful for how Jesus has saved me, I grieve over the fact that I take it for granted WAY too much. Jesus' love is amazing. And to it, I owe everything.
And to all the parents and volunteers involved in COTN Kids, thank you. Thank you for praying for me. Thank you for volunteering your time when you felt like you really had no time left to give. Thank you for the smiles, hugs, and encouraging words that you probably didn't know kept me going when I felt like giving up. Thank you for showing up week in and week out, whether you were teaching or just bringing your kids. I am so appreciative and thankful for each one of you.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank YOU for what YOU do!!! The kids and I had a great talk last night. They were sharing about how they love to go down to the altar in Kids Church. I was kind of suprised by that because they are both shy about those sorts of things. I asked them when they started doing that and they said when you started prayer cards and they talked about how much that helped them. They went on and on about Kids Church and the Lord and the Baptism of the Spirit and so many things. I just sat there in awe, listening and thinking how thankful I was that they have a place that's just for them and that they have such godly leaders who work so hard to facilitate an environment where they can really encounter God. Thank you for your faithfulness Kristin, Kendall, Josh, Becca, Dave and everyone else who serves. My kids have a much deeper and richer walk with God because of you all. What you do matters and they remember it and I thank God for it!
