HAPPY THANKSGIVING

TAKE SOME TIME

I pray all of you have a great week of family time. Maybe this Holiday season I can encourage you to take some time from your busy schedules or away from those Hallmark movies that play one after the other with the same story line but with just different faces. Perhaps I can persuade you to go out and find a place and take some time to hear, connect and learn a little more about the Author of our life: To set aside the cares of the world, the distractions and worries to get a fresh revelation of God's love and His Word.

I hope you caught the word fresh in that last sentence, because it's really an important part of what God is trying to teach us. In Mark 2:22 it says that no one puts new wine into old wineskins...but new wine must be put into fresh wineskins or it'll burst. You can't live your spiritual life on autopilot or live spiritually in old wine skin because you'll rupture and leak, which means you'll not be able to understand or hold onto the "New Wine" of God. This Holiday season find a place that inspires you and a place where you can let your faith be elevated. To get new vision for your life and open yourself to a new way of thinking where you will receive all the blessings God has in store for you!

Gifts and Projects

Give Away

Our local Bed Bath and Beyond donated house items to BTG. We set up a give away at our headquarters in Loveland for the families to come and select whatever they could use for their home.

Grateful Families

All those who supported and helped these families were touched by the chance to bless them with much needed bedding and supplies they were lacking in their home. It was a great chance for us to gather many of the moms we have worked with throughout the last couple of years.

Howard &Christian

These two project managers as well as other volunteers removed bad carpet and replaced it with new tile. repaired her bathroom and installed blinds to give this family a healthier safer environment to live in.

We love sharing the lives of the single moms and their children that we help with home repair. If you could only see their faces of appreciation and hear their grateful words as they experience a new understanding of how God's people care and love them. We appreciate the passion and compassion of our project managers and many many volunteers who make BTG "happen"-- they believe in the work we do and generously give of their time and resources to help.

And for all of you who faithfully read this newsletter every month, encourage, pray and support us.... God Bless you with the desires of your heart, health, prosperity and peace as this year ends and a "new beginning" awaites you. You are the best.

Happy Thanksgiving. Chris and Marilyn
