Give Thanks!

I want to share a bit of thanks with everyone for some folks that blessed us yesterday.
Jeremy & Jessica Carter are a couple that go to Discovery Church.  They  bring so much to the church and are always willing to do what they can to help!  Last night, we set up (a day early) for church and they showed up to help.  They brought individual ice cream cups from Cold Stone for Claude, Todd Wallace, and myself.  Don't panic, no one was left out because we were the only ones that were there for setup (we did have another person show up, but we were already done!)!  We also had 3 teenagers help out!  It was a fun night!  We sat and ate the ice cream, then we decided to all go over to the Wallace house to play Wii!!!!   Claude is the cow racing master!!!!  He beat all of us!  It was so much fun!  
Anyway, Jeremy & Jessica were alot of fun to hang out with.  Up til last night, we hadn't really spent much time with them outside of church functions, so it was great to get to know them better!  
I just love doing that!  We have been blessed to be able to spend time with several families over the last few weeks!  We've hung out with the Rennies (a totally cool family!), the Hansens (what a blast!  We created a Wii character for Claude, but by the time we were done it looked more like Michael Jackson than Claude!!), & the Ellingsworths (also, fun, but their dog ate the meatloaf!).  It's one of the BEST things about Claude being in the ministry!  We are able to develop friendships with folks and bless them.  They, in turn, continually bless us!  
So, I encourage folks to give thanks for their friends and to look for ways to meet & make new friends!  Grow where you are planted people!!!!
