Thankfulness . . .

We should always reflect how thankful we are no matter what time of year, but at this time of year it is always more "sensationalized" if you will. We all have so many things to be thankful for but overlook those things. Today, it was brought back into perspective for me. I ran across a blog spot through a friend of a friend's blog. These are missionaries in Uganda. They are in the midst of an EBOLA outbreak!! Now if you don't know what EBOLA is, it is not something you want!!! I found this family's blog extremely rivoting . . . I guess because I am in the medical field and love to read about missionaries. But, my heart breaks for the people of this village and for those around that have this virus. My heart swells with gratitude for this couple and their kids for being missionaries to these beautiful people. My heart breaks as they loose friends and people they have grown to love. My heart swells agin with gratitude at their braveness for staying, but again breaks when they send their children off because they (the parents) may have been exposed. Please spend some time reading this blog http://paradoxuganda.blogspot.com/ and praying for this village and these missionaries. And DO NOT FORGET ALL we have to be thankful for! Praise Jesus for ALL you have to be thankful for I know we will be!!
