Giving Great Thanks!

As we reflect on the busyness of the Fall and how fast time always seems to fly, we are grateful for the season we are in. With November now upon us and Thanksgiving & Christmas quickly approaching, it always gives us an extra reason to pause and reflect on what we're Thankful for! Bridges sees God's blessings on a daily basis. We are so thankful that amidst a difficult economy God continues to provide above and beyond for our students and their families. We are thankful for our students who are getting plugged into church (and for some, it's the first time they've ever been involved in a church)! We are thankful for the students who have been consistently coming to our after school programs! The students are such a blessing in our lives and we feel privileged to get to hang out with them and get to know their stories! We are thankful for our staff and volunteers that make a daily difference in the lives of the students! We are thankful for our 270 mentors who are tirelessly going into the schools every week for 30 minutes to make a positive difference in the lives of children! We are thankful for the schools for being willing to open their doors to the community so that we can be part of the process of impacting our youth for the future! We could go on and on with this list of what we're thankful for. What are you thankful for?
