OCTOBER 2022 Letter LIVING WELL

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.  Psalm 107:1

We are entering a season that focuses on giving thanks. We are thankful for so much in our lives ...... but who do we thank?

As Christians, we thank God who is the source of all of the good in our lives.

Every good and perfect gift is from above .... James 1:17

After we thank God, we can follow Paul’s example and thank others. Did you know that gratitude in a marriage or any relationship can transform it?!

Shaunti Feldhahn is a Christian, a researcher, writer, and speaker. Her books are based on solid research. In several of her books, she writes about the power of gratitude and kindness in marriage. In her book, Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages, she shares, I heard these kinds of comments over and over in the interviews with highly happy couples. They were casual remarks about something that really wasn’t casual at all: a deeply felt gratitude. This “attitude of gratitude” can transform your marriage from good to great. Highly happy couples give their spouses most of the credit for their relationship success—and they live in regular, conscious gratitude as a result.

WISDOM Christian School is on its way to raising chickens – thanks to numerous donors. The building is almost complete. They will start with 100 baby chicks. As they grow, they will add another 100 babies. These chickens will be large enough to sell or cook in about six weeks. We know that it will be a learning process. Please pray for the wisdom of those involved in the project. [see progress]

We continue to pray that we will be able to return to Zambia in January. We are anxious to see all of the staff and the students! The needs have grown greatly since the secondary school was added. Please pray for the students, teachers, and their support.

Please let us know how you are doing. Our office is only open by appointment but you can email us at info@livingwellokc.org. We are no longer taking new appointments, but will see people that we have seen in the past. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!

Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards

 

P.S. Please pray for us to be able to return to Zambia, for protection and support of WISDOM Christian School.
