At CONVERGE we believe in the power of stories. Each person has a unique story and way to relate that story to others. Feel free to send us your stories that you would like to share of your own faith journey.
At our annual Thanksgiving dinner we placed Thank You Notes to God on our Thanksgiving Tree.
Here they are:
I am thankful for health, family, friends, job (financial blessings), My team, Mosaic, Jeremy, Jara and kids.
Father, thank you for the opportunity to raise a son for your glory. Thank you for a wonderful virtuous wife, a loving family and more than enough resources to care for them.
I'm thankful for family, friends, ice cream, a home over my head, a bed and a room.
We are thankful for our upcoming marriage, and are thankful for God bringing us together and the relationship we have shared thus far.
Thank you for the things I cannot see but You can. Thank you for being all-powerful and all-knowing, yet loving me the way you do. Thank you for never leaving me in the same place, but bringing me to and through each situation to be closer to Jesus! Thank you God for each blessing and for being awesome!
Father, I may become frustrated with my job pretty often, but I'm so thankful to have a job. My family frustrates me, but I'm thankful to be part fo this support system of people who love me. With so many people struggling financially, I thank You for providing all our needs. Thank You for continuing to work on me.
Father, thank You for loving me and allowing me to love you. Thank you for your faithfulness to me and my family. Thank you also for all the times that you have given me peace through your Word, prayer and the Holy Spirit.
...for everything in the universe...
Skarlett wants to thank God for making her. Violet wants to thank God for her toys. Tiffany wants to thank God for his love for me, and for the strength He can only give me through hard times. Jonny would like to thank God for all his pain, his life, and his beautiful family. Thank you loving Father!
I am so thankful for my amazing husband, precious little boy, great house and neighbors, having enough money to survive each month and to eat well!, for good health, my husband's great job and his dedication to it, parents who love me, great friends, a car that runs (and is paid for)...
But, most importantly, I am so very thankful for God's great mercy and grace. His Word, His Son, and His willingness to give me each new day to know Him deeper and serve Him better. And for 3 Muskateers bars. : )
Wow! There are more things to be thankful for than I could possibly write. First, thank you for such an awesome wedding and especially for my sweet husband. That is enough blessing, but you continually give me far more than I ever deserve. Thank you for our awesome honeymoon. the awesome gifts people have given us and the financial blessing that so many have been to us. Thank you for the ducks he killed yesterday and today and please keep him safe as he returns. Lord, I also want to thank you for healhty and loving parents. Please pour your blessings out on them. Thank you also for my sweet sisters and friends. Thank you for all your amazing blessings and love you show me daily. I am so thankful and I love you . Thank you for dying for me Jesus!

Thank you Lord for my Godly and loving parents. I know I don't always understand them or the guidance they give me, but thank you for them. Help me to trust their wisdom and advice and give me the ability to submit to their authority. Thank You Lord for them, bless their faithfulness to you.
Thank You Jesus for my wife and family. Thank you for being my friend and GOD!! Thanks for providing and blessing. Thanks for Grace and Love!! Thanks for Everything!!
I am thankful that for every ugly thing in the world there is something twice as beautiful.
I'm thankful for my relationship with God... I am thankful for the opportunity to have a life free to serve my God and have a relationship as I do with Him. I have such great opportunities to live a good full life without too many limitations. I am thankful for a wonderful woman to share my life with and love God with. It is such a blessing to be able to share with someone. I cannot imagine being alone anymore. Thank you God for giving me a wife. I am grateful for her, your love, my life and those in this world with me. Thank you Lord! You are truly amazing, the most amazing example ever. Help me to have the courage to give like you!
Thank you Father for friends and family, both old and new. Thank you Jesus for giving us your life. Thank you Holy Spirit for your abiding presence.
Father, thank you for choosing me. Your love is my life and my security. Thank You!
Dear Jesus, Thank You for how awesome you are! Thank you for creating me, loving me and giving me the gift of eternal life and adoption into your family. Thank you for my wonderful Godly husband and three beautiful children and three beautiful grandchildren. I am blessed among women. You have given me health and wealth. Not in material wealth but in an awesome life.
Thanks for being one with me, Dominus. For inviting me to be one with You and these of your possession.
I am very thankful for an atmosphere.
Lord, I want to thank you for your son and the gift of salvation. Thank you for being a loving father and for taking care of us your children.
God... I thank you for showing me more of your presence this year! ...You are so good!
Jesus... Thank you so so much for providing for me in ways that I didn't even know I needed. You truly are the giver of good gifts. Thank you for knowing me and loving me anyway! I am still amazed (and humbled) that you have chosen to bless me so abundantly with my fiance. As you know more than I do she is the proverbial woman - more precious than rubies and choice jewels. Thank you for providing me with a woman who loves you more that she loves me and helps me to know you more deeply. I know you take delight in your creation and you must be very delighted in her. She is beautiful in so many different ways! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! for allowing your favor to rest upon me even if for but a moment.
Comforter... Thank you for pain. Thank you for my weaknesses. Thank you that I can only look to you for salvation. Thank you for providing what I can't provide for myself. Thank you for the gift of family. Thank you for the gift of forgiveness... yours and others. Thank you for our future with You! Thank You for the ability to Thank You!
AMEN! Happy Thanksgiving...
The living dead are we
Lumbering through the world
Praying that no one
Sees us for the corpses
That we are.
Unable to see a cure
For this life’
For this death.
Then You appear
Having always been there
It’s as though
My eyes have only
Just begun to see.
My ears only
Just begun to hear.
Slowly I’m starting to live.
You’re giving me life.
Because of you,
I will be dead no more.
Like a lightbulb
In a dark room
It takes so little light
To banish such overwhelming darkness,
Wandering through a spiritual desert
And my skin burned and peeling
You sent me abundant rain.
The earth sprang to life
Green, soft, and cool.
My skin calmed and healed
I fall to my knees
And look up into the
Falling rain as it covers me
Protects me.
I’m beautifully crushed
By your love for me.
Love springs up within me
Filling, destroying, the emptiness
Inside of me.
It consumes my entirety
Like fire
I cannot deny it;
Nor do I wish to.
