Every day is a special day and gives us many reasons to be thankful, but there are some days that are extra special and gives us reason to celebrate. Jan 27th, Ira had a birthday and then on Feb 17th Elia had one. We had a cookout and an evening of fellowship with all the volunteers to recognize Ira's and a girl's morning out breakfast for Elia. Times like these allow us to take the time to encourage one another in ministry.
Then we celebrated Valentine's Day. Here in Mexico it is called the Day of Love and Friendship. The Tia gave a special message about the Love of our Heavenly Father and His gifts that he gives us daily. She scripture referenced how He is our light, the Prince of Peace, our strong tower etc. She made sure special attention was given to the fact that the biggest gift of all is the one that God gave us, His one and only Son, Jesus Christ!
After the service, we had a Pot Luck Dinner with dishes made from the individual Sunday School classes. The kids had a great time being creative in what they were making. It was also fun for everyone to sample each others food. It was a very casual and fun afternoon for everyone allowing them time to just hang out and play games among themselves. We really have so much to celebrate and be thankful for each and every day!
