Not Too Busy for Gratitude
This year our family placed an emphasis on living a life of thanksgiving. It has been very rewarding to say the least. We made several gratitude posters throughout the year that our kids have filled with daily praises. These posters have helped us maintain our focus on being thankful for the many gifts we have been given. Our lists have included things such as… Chick-Fil-A, Barbie Dolls, Hair ties, our chickens & cows, family, friends, home, a Bible, clothes, school, and mentioned many times, our donors. We are all so grateful for each of you! We are able to sustain our ranch, clothe our kids, support them in their sports activities and take them to fun activities like a pumpkin patch all because we are well-provided for by our donors. The start of school, sports practices and games, church activities, and Shiloh events. Kegon played football this fall and Naomi played softball. Clara and Naomi have both been serving in our church nursery along with various other opportunities as they arise. Zyarie and Naomi are now entering basketball season, and they are very excited. Kierslynn has been learning a lot of new things in her first year of choir.
Edith’s Baptism
Back in September, we hosted our annual Open House and Motorcycle events. Both opened so many opportunities to welcome and meet our supporters. We met former Shiloh kids, families that have previously placed children in our homes, long-time supporters and people that had always wanted to know more about our ministry. If you haven’t had the opportunity to join us for an Open House, it is a great time to meet our families and see our ranch. We would love to see you next year!
As Neal Maxwell said, “We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.” Thank you for making your blessings count and making a difference in our children’s lives. We value all of you as you pray for us, encourage us and support our ministry. May God bless you through this season. As our kids are equipped with His Word, we thank you for giving our kids these opportunities. As we feed our always hungry army, take that same army for ice cream and to the swimming pool, we thank you. We are so humbled by your support through your prayers, donations and time. We are able to serve day after day because of the love you have poured into our ministry.
In Him,
Jeremy, Ashley & Cohn Crew
