There's no question 2020 has been a challenging year. But we still have much for which to give thanks. We asked you, our South Georgia UM family and friends, what you’re thankful for during this season of giving thanks. We are thankful for our wonderful
#sgaumc family! Here’s what you shared with us:
I am thankful for the new friends I have made by participating in online events and studies.

I am thankful for all the volunteers and ERTs that have worked tirelessly this season to be a caring Christian presence in the aftermath of disasters. Even a worldwide pandemic can’t stop us from being the hands and feet of Christ!

I am thankful for the amazing blessings God pours out upon me each and every day. In such abundance, I often fail to stop and recognize them all. Family, friends, good health, an amazing church, opportunities to use my blessings to BE a blessing, and hot showers. Definitely thankful for hot showers! Thankful for a God who loves me unconditionally, and continues to bless me far more than I deserve!
