Thanksgiving Greeting from Julia - '23

Dear Father Mike, 
     I pray you will receive the gift of faith and the blessing of hope this Thanksgiving!  
Thanksgiving is such a beautiful day with a wonderful purpose!  We are thankful for so many reasons.  Family, friends, purpose, provision and the presence of God in our lives is only the beginning.  
     Before you are consumed by the activities of the day this Thanksgiving I hope you are able to make time to spend a quiet moment with the Lord and express to Him your heartfelt gratitude. A heart overflowing with THANKSGIVING!  
     PEACE!  It is impossible to look at the world around us which is full of conflict, hatred and revenge... war and death, and not be thankful for the PEACE we have in our life here in our little corner of the world and in our hearts.  Because of Jesus and faith in Him we are given a beautiful and most important eternal gift, received by faith! 
 
Peace with God, Forever! 
 
Your friend, with deep gratitude!
Julia Schatz
