for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. this perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. -souza

Happy Thanksgiving!!
This morning I watched most of the 80th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. As I lay on the couch watching 50 foot balloons float down the street I began to think about how ridiculous Thanksgiving has become! Rather than being focused on family and all that God has blessed us with, we are bombarded with tv show marathons, football games, and the best shopping sprees for the entire year. This year God's blessings have almost been overwhelming to me. His financial provision is literally unbelievable to some and yet I have received an abundance simply because I serve an awesome God. I'm so blessed to have the family that I do and to be placed within a Church that is moving forward in the purposes of God. As I have been going through certain situations recently I'm learning to trust God more and more, and through all of this I've learned of God's patience towards His children and His faithfulness. I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, but most of all I hope you remember and continue to live in the blessings of God.
