Giving Thanks from the JHC-CDCA in Nicaragua

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States.  We celebrate this day in Nicaragua with our Community, extended family, and friends.  Mike and I miss our Nicaraguan celebration, but are enjoying celebrating with our son Coury and his family in California.

When we are at home, we gather before the evening meal and hold hands in a big circle and each say one thing for which we are thankful.  This year, far away, I gather with them and say how grateful I am for all of you who keep this important work going.

  • For those of you who pray for this work
  • For those of you who give in response to speaking engagements, newsletters, and pleas in times of stress
  • For those of you who pledge and give monthly and quarterly
  • For those of you who come to Nicaragua to volunteer and see the reality there
  • For those of you who collect and ship donations to this work
  • For those of you give what you can when you can
  • For those of you who help with the buying of organic crops
  • For those of you who support those of us on speaking tours
  • For those of you who tell others your impressions of Nicaragua and this work… to spread the news
  • For those of you who read our posts and blogs and share them
  • For those of you on our Board of Directors
  • For those of you who routinely cover dozens of small and large volunteer tasks
  • For those of you who love us and care for us…

For YOU we give thanks today and always.  THANK YOU!!!
