“I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify Him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30
I love to sing! Those who know me best know that when I am singing – even when I am off key – that my heart is full of joy and thanksgiving. My heavenly Father hears my songs of Thanksgiving as well. These are some of the things that we here at Twenty-six:Twelve are singing songs of Thanksgiving about in 2008:
750 Individuals and families have Bibles because the employees of our FMS family have shared them throughout our communities
More than 800 Children in impoverished parts of the world will receive a shoebox full of gifts and hope – all because of the generosity of the FMS family. Through these boxes they will hear that the One who made them loves them with His unfailing love –
God is active and making Himself known all over the world! And we don’t just have to read about it in magazines or hear about it on the news– we are getting to truly be a part of His work.
Children in Bulgaria have new, safe playgrounds
Teenaged mothers heard the good news about Jesus while having fun at camp – knowing their babies were safe and loved.
We are also thankful for enough food, clean water, warm beds and safe planes. But most of all we are thankful for our friends within the FMS family that make every day at work a reason to sing!
Donna Key from our Burleson Hospice Agency sent me this very encouraging email. Thought I would share it so you could be encouraged as well!
“In November for the past several years, I have spearheaded a local request for donation of women’s and children’s coats for the Tarrant County Battered Women’s Haven. I asked our employees if they would join me in this effort and bring any of their gently used, clean coats to our office. This morning, I delivered 5 large (trash size) bags full of coats! Just wanted to let 26:12 know we did this project. The haven was deeply grateful.”
For those of you who aren’t familiar, there is a search engine called Good Search. (www.goodsearch.com) Basically, they donate about a penny to a charity of your choice for each search you make on their search engine. The full explanation can be found at http://www.goodsearch.com/About.aspx.
Twenty-Six: Twelve is registered to receive funds for searches preformed on Good Search. Simply type in “Twenty Six Twelve” in the Who Do You Goodseach For? blank and it should verify and read “Twenty Six Twelve (Fort Worth)”. Then, every time you use Good Search, with us as your chosen charity, we will get a penny! It could add up fast if your entire office makes a commitment to do this! It’s a neat concept, and we would love to take advantage of any fund raising means we can!
