MAG: Giving Thanks and Raising Praises

The first post of this three part blog series, "A Busy Month For MAG" focused on things we were excited about.

This final post of the series focuses on the things we're thankful for!

It is great to hear and see all that goes on in Gods work and in those who he has blessed with a servants heart. Keep up the good fight. We will continue to lift you to the Father who controls the seasons of our lives. He knows all and sees all. To Him be the glory.
