Day 4 of Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful for my church. I am thankful my pastors are real. They share their struggles. They are so full if God's love. I am thankful that my church is very much focused on people. On helping others and be Jesus to so many.

"Showing God's LOVE in practical ways"

I love this. I want to live like this. I want to speak truth to others in love - not yell at them, not act holier than thou - but to be real and really share His love and His truths!

I'm thankful my church doesn't just speak from the bible but lines up the old testament with the new testament and how it all applies today.

I love learning more about His love, His grace, His promises and His truth!!!

I love that my church has a healing center that helps people with food, find jobs, provides financial planning, helps with resources for education

I love that I allowed God to open my heart to see the beauty in my church. I had wanted to attend another church and while I will always love that church -- I am so thankful He lead us to Cincinnati Vineyard!!!

I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
