Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Happy Turkey Day!!!!
I'm thankful for. . . . . JESUS, my family, friends, and thanksgiving dinner.

Here in America many people pass away of obesity. In Africa, many people pass away because of hunger. There is hunger, poverty, AIDS, persecution, terrorism, and all of this to an extent that we cannot even possibly start to comprehend. All of what I just mentioned though is a blessing. Here in America we have things. Things that distract us from the real reason we are here. Things that, without meaning to, we put before GOD and His purpose for us: to love, worship and bring honor to Him. When you have nothing though, all you can do is trust in GOD and place your faith in Him. Many people there though don't know GOD. They don't know His love, and they don't know the hope that He gives. This is why we need to do something about that. Whether it is becoming a missionary to sponsoring a child to simply praying. There is an organization called Compassion where you can sponsor a child. Sponsoring children helps them learn about the LORD, gives them an education, keeps them healthy, and keeps them from being hungry. You can go to compassion.org to see more about it. There are many other ministries and organizations that help them also. One is Invisible Children. Another is Amazima Ministries that a young woman named Katie Davis started that helps children in Uganda. The ministry provides school, clothes, food, school supplies, and best of all, love for the children. In the sidebar there is an icon that says Amazima. If you click on it then it will take you to the website for Amazima. Katie also wrote a book called Kisses from Katie and has a blog: kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com. Right now though something that we all can do is pray and love!
