Give Thanks in ALL Circumstances!









Ryan preached on Thanksgiving and the scripture reading he chose was from 1 Thes. 5:18...give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.


We reflected on this passage many times on Thanksgiving Day and realized that it is difficult to do at times, yet this is what God commands us to do. Our prayer for you too, is that you are able to see God's love even during difficult and trying times.

We are so thankful for many things, but the obvious one is our baby boy! We went to see the Body Worlds Exhibit at the St. Louis Science Center, which reminded us of how detailed God is...He knows the number of hairs on our head. We also saw the growth of an embryo/fetus...God is amazing!

We missed spending Thanksgiving Day with family. Mom and Dad Peterson did arrive Thursday evening for the weekend. They spent time with Andrew, helped us put lights on our house and put in a tv/radio under our kitchen cabinet. We spent Thanksgiving Day at the homes of a few good friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

We missed you being home too but we are so full of joy when we see our little Andrew enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday and knowing that he has been blessed with faith filled fun loving parents like you.
We are grinning from ear to ear as we view your blog.
Hugs and Kisses across the miles!
