Thanksgiving Day, 2013
"Let our hearts overflow with thankfulness..." Colossians 2:7.
On the occasion of Thanksgiving Day, 'Helping Hand Society' organized a potluck dinner last Friday 29th Nov. 2013. To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything He has given us -- and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.
