As we reach the end of 2020, it would be really easy to look back on the year, throw up our hands and say "good riddance!" But I've got another idea.
Let's raise up our hands and shout "Thank you Lord!" instead.
I'm not much into complaining about how bad things are, or all the problems I've had to deal with. I'd rather solve problems then cry about them. Now, I'm not saying that 2020 hasn't been a very trying, difficult year. It's been incredibly frustrating at almost every turn. But I don't think we do ourselves much good by worrying or complaining about it. The old "attitude of gratitude" mentality works much better, I think.
So let's be thankful about all that was accomplished through this ministry in 2020, instead of complaining about the tasks left unaccomplished because of the pandemic.
Let's thank God for the things we were able to focus on that we wouldn't have been able to focus on if we were doing "normal" ministry.
Let's thank God for the impact you, as an ECM partner, had on so many lives in Congo, Ghana, and Uganda.
As we finish 2020, let's remember all that God has done, and give him thanks for all of it. As we head into 2021, let's do so with excitement and enthusiasm because we know that even in the worst of years, God still does GREAT things!
