I was just thinking today about things I'm thankful for. I am thankful for a plethora of things (like to use that word) and these things are not a complete list, but just some thoughts ...
I'm thankful for:
> Youth Specialities and their products to help with Youth Ministry - especially the Spontaneous Melodramas - used one last night at Youth and it was fun
> Skype - so I can call my mom and dad for only 2 cents a minute or free when its Skype to Skype - can also do video so I can see them and Talli too!
> McDonalds - not very often, but its nice to get a taste from home every now and then
> Flannel sheets - because it makes getting into bed when its chilly a lot easier! (Although it also makes getting out of bed more difficult!)
> The Bruechners for my little Mazda!
> Lindiwe for helping me learn Zulu
> SMS or Texting to keep in touch with youth and other friends
> The internet so I can keep up with news back home - even LPGA tournaments :)
> Hugs
> Dove chocolate
> A Capo so I can change keys rather than trying to contort my hands to do unusual chords
> Audio books to make working out less boring
> Cameras to capture memories and photos from home
> Non stick pans (thanks to Susan!)
> Peanut butter
> Friends who sent grape jelly
> sunglasses
> MP3 players
> our laptop
> amazing sunsets
> email
> remotes
> puppies
> chapstick
Thats enough for now. I'm trying to be thankful - to look at the glass as half full - to see the good first - to remember the 3 C's I learned in Dale Carnegie class - Never Criticize, condemn, or complain.
Thank You Lord for it ALL

Supporting the Ministry of Troyeville Baptist and the Touch Life Centre
Many of you have asked about how you can support the ministries here in Troyeville. We love your prayer support and we know that God is answering in wonderful ways!
If you'd like to support the ministries financially, here are some of the current needs:
Sponsor a Child at Touth Life Centre: Tuition for our preschool is R300 (~ $40), but most families can only afford to pay about R 50 - the rest is provided by donations. If you sponsor a child, you will enable us to continue this ministry to the community - we'll send pictures of your child and have
him or her write to you. The sponsorship would last for 3 - 4 years depending on how long the child attends our school.
All finanical contributions should go through the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (VBMB) in Richmond, VA. You can get donations to us by sending them to the VBMB office at
VBMB
Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team
Attn: Jeannette Hildebrand
2828 Emerywood Pkwy
Richmond, VA 23294-3718
Please Indicate that your donation is for The Ministries of Troyeville Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. If you'd like for your donation to go to a specific need above, please indicate that also.
Let us know your name and address so that we can thank you and send pictures of what your contributions helped support.
If you have any questions about donating, contact Terry Raines or Nichole Bulls at the VBMB office - 804-915-5000 or 800 ALL BGAV
Blessings!!!
