Thanksgiving

 

"Thanksgiving" by alegoricalarts.etsy.com

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.  

Mark 7:28

From our Gracious God, even the crumbs are most plentiful and abundantly enough - and how much more does He always shower us with?

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.  Psalm 103:2

Explanations that don't work

Cannot help those falling hook line and sinker, but CAN throw them a life saver, and try to pull them out........

I ♥ Latvia

Update: As of June 6. 2010, I am offering any item-of your choosing- from my store to individuals who donate $50 to this mission, and, any three items - of your choosing- from my store for donations of $100.

I love Latvia - I have never been to the European continent. But I love Latvia.
I have met two of the kindest, most hard working, gifted women on etsy....they are both from Latvia.

I'd like to buy out their shops, if I could, yet....
To give Him, to lead someone to Him - and teach through His Word
is the best gift you could ever give anyone,
anytime, anywhere....



There is someone who is in Latvia, teaching and leading.
Calvary Chapel Latvia.


I learned that there is a young family in Santa Cruz, California who are going to Latvia, to assist Brenten with his mission. The Petriks.



I thought," how can I help?"
I pray, and donate, and ask...

I ask, please make a donation to help send the Petriks to Latvia
I step out, in faith , and ask for donations.

you can donate online through CCSC's online-giving.

(under "budget" choose "special missions" and under "notes" write "Petriks-Latvia")

ANY AMOUNT HELPS ! and PRAYER is always greatly encouraged and welcomed :D


Perhaps this will be an extra nudge to get people moving and helping....because, well,
I ♥ Latvia


Thank you :D
