Garden of your heart

"Give Thanks"

I love this song that is playing on my blog right now!  "Give Thanks" has such a special place in my heart.  Back in 1990 I went on a short-term mission trip to Thailand.  I met some of the most amazing Thai Christians there who in order to follow Jesus had their families turn their back on them.  They were some of the most committed believers I have seen.  :)    What makes this song so special to me is that we were sitting in a church service there and they started to sing this song in Thai.  There were only a couple  of us American's singing it in English.  It was so beautiful!  To be able to understand completely what we were singing and the meaning behind this song made me realize how small this world really is and how big God's love is for each of us that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for all!  :) 

I am so thankful for that wonderful 3 weeks in Thailand!  The Land of Smiles!  There are less than 1% Christian, so that country needs our prayers!  :)

the song is beautiful and your recollection of the Thai Christians singing it as the Americans sang it, brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for sharing this!
