A Prayer of Thanksgiving


Thank you Lord God for the multitude of blessings that you have bestowed upon us over these past 9 months; for the women who have come together as Sisters in Christ to serve as an offering of love. We give thanks for your direction and for all of the open doors that you have provided; for the faith you give us, for equipping us for your work, for our families who have supported the giving of our time and resources; for the support of our local Pastors, Churches, the Interfaith Coalition, the Prado Day Center and the Maxine Lewis Memorial Shelter Staff who have allowed us to serve at their facilities. Thank you for hearing the prayers that we have lifted up to you; for the donations that have allowed us to provide these women with bibles, socks, underwear, feminine hygiene and other items. Thank you for the smiles hugs and love that we receive from these women in return for serving you Lord God. Thank you for the freedom to celebrate the birth of your son and for the Churches who have agreed to partner with us in providing Christmas for the Shelter. We thank you Lord and ask that you will continue to bless us, protect us and lead us to do your will. We ask these things in the name of your beautiful son, Jesus. Amen
