What's so special about this time of year? What makes me all cozy inside? Why am I overflowing with emotion?

On November 6th Greg and I were overjoyed when family friends showed up at our home to help us prepare for winter. Greg was overwhelmed by the amount of work he still had ahead of him… It seemed as though he’d never finish cutting down, bucking up, chopping, and stacking our wood that we needed to keep us warm this winter. When church family heard about Greg’s stress they jumped into action, formed a brigade, and put their hands to work! Greg and I are forever grateful for the hands that helped make this winters chore a success. Those involved were: Jon & Leah Roth and their boys, Josh & Amy Goodwin and their boys, Greg & Mollie Gandy and their son Jacob, Chris & Rachel Lounsbury and their daughter Maddy, Carroll Stevens and his son Joe, Bill Palmer, Mike, Keith Howard and his boys, myself, my husband, and our kiddos Caleb & Hannah! Those who worked inside and cooked while they watched over many babies were: My Mother Darlene, My Nana Ruth, and Sissy (My sister Dienne Howard)! A giant thank you to all of you from The Terry’s! This was indeed a huge blessing and a time of Thanksgiving for Greg and me!

Dear God,
Thank you for showing me that nothing is impossible with you. Thank you for delivering such service that only glorifies you. Thank you for teaching each of us that there are many things to be grateful for this time of year. Lord, you continually answer my prayers and continue to give to me and my family just what we need. It is by your grace that we thrive, it is our desire to worship you each day. I am overflowing with Thanksgiving, I am struck with new hope and great joy. Lord, you provide comfort and warmth. It is through your love that we can then love one another! Thank you Father!

In Jesus' name, Amen
