With Thanksgiving just a few days away and thoughts are on being thankful. I wanted to share just what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for my family. My wife has been the backbone of our family and my number once encourager. I have two of the greatest kids in the world. The greatest thing on the earth is the support and love from family.
I am thankful for my church. To come together with a group of believers each week and worship our Savior. Thankful for the connection that I have with the members of our small group. We are completely cut from the same mold and I love them. I am thankful for the staff team here at Eastside. They have a heart to see lives changed by God and to see disciples making other disciples.
I am thankful for the student leadership team that I have the pleasure to serve with. They have a heart to see students become "sold out" to Christ. I couldn't ask for a better group of men and women to work with in student ministry. I am thankful for the students at Eastside. My prayer is that they will continue to let God direct them in their lives.
Finally, I am thankful for JESUS. He came to this earth born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died on a cross for me. There was no special requirement that I had to meet, there was no special deals that had to be made. All I had to do was surrender everything to Him.
My prayer is that each one has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
In His Service,
Billy Edwards
Fusion Student Pastor
