President's Message About Thankfulness

By February 24, 2015No Comments

Thankfulness. It is a word that has deeper meaning every year that we have the privilege to serve children who come to us with nothing. And yet, when they leave us to be reunited with their families or find forever homes — they do so with everything. They leave with the hope of Christ, full bellies and one in which we are thankful!

At Florida Baptist Children’s Homes, One More Child & The Porch Light, we are thankful for each of you who believe in what God can do through our ministry! We appreciate every diaper that was donated through our recent annual Diaper Drive! What a practical way to help with the ever-present needs of babies.

In recent weeks, we have been talking about a subject that was — and make sure more girls do not fall prey to this horrific crime. You can be the one who makes that difference by partnering with us through your gifts.

Just yesterday, I received a note from a young man named Collin who spent a year in our care. He said that we will always be a part of his life. Collin said he learned that family does not always have to be blood and your help that made it possible.

Thankfulness abounds because of you! You are the reason we can help one more child.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Love Changes Lives. What a fantastic reason to be thankful!

Together for children,
Jerry Haag, Ph.D., CFP®
