An eventful day yesterday that God blessed me with. So this post is a expressing gratitude to Jesus post.

It was a good meeting yesterday with the counseling pastor for my church. We discussed various ideas and he will talk with our lead pastor next Monday. We both agreed that the church should not shy away from issues like trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or other mental health issues because we have the answer- Jesus. It is how to communicate that and help people connect with Jesus for healing that is important.

Okay so here is some news. I finished my book Encounters with the Ancients. I am waiting for my proof copy to go over it and make changes if need be and then make it public next week. Finishing another book feels good, but then there is the thought of-“I hope it sells.” Now it is time to write more for my next book. More on that later.

Top it all off, one of my students in one of my morning classes surprised me yesterday evening. She had cooked some tamales and brought me some. They were DELICIOUS!!!. One of the perks of teaching ESL is the opportunity to enjoy foods from other cultures.

What are you thankful for today?

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

I am thankful for your blog and how you point to thankfulness and ministry. I am also thankful that I am sitting here waiting on our little grandson to come over. We are watching him so our daughter and SIL can go on a much-needed date. I am so aware of what a huge blessing this simple act is…how I wondered if we would ever have these normal opportunities with our family. God is good!
