Almost Thanksgiving!!!!







"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 107:1)"






It is almost Thanksgiving which in our house (as in most houses) means that we are right around the corner from super busy. This year we have actually noticed and celebrated Thanksgiving. Usually we just eat some food and cram in some extended family and move on to the good stuff...Christmas. This year, however, Thanksgiving seems to be getting it's full share of pause. Maybe it is because we had a "Pow Wow" at the kids' school the other week, or because we are sending food this week for their classroom feasts. Maybe it's because the local radio station has committed to keeping the "thanks in Thanksgiving" (corny, but I like it). Maybe it's because our Bible Study has adopted some families to bring Thanksgiving dinner too. Maybe it's because we helped organize the food pantry for Thanksgiving today. Or maybe...most likely...it is because the Hooks House has so much to be thankful for this year. God has been so unbelievably gracious with us. In the midst of financial turmoil, He has shown us what an amazing provider He truly is. He has not missed a beat. I don't think I could begin to list all the ways that God has revealed Himself to the Hooks family. It has become a daily journey of miraculous events. We are thankful this season. We are blessed beyond measure. We are still standing, and feel as if we are living proof that when God calls you to insane and somewhat crazy adventures...just go and do...He will be right there making sure you have all that you need. He will.

God is good. He is transforming. I sat next to a lady last night in an orchestra pit. I had only met her once before, and I have to say, she wasn't nice to me at all back then. Yesterday, she was a completely different person. She sat and told me so openly how God has changed her life this past year. It was so awesome to hear. She was totally different--she was alive. God is good. Thank you for continuing to bless us with your stories! I'm thankful for the Hooks family!
