Kitty’s Thanksgiving Miracle Story

On Thanksgiving day in 2006, just a few months after losing my dad to cancer, we had a small Thanksgiving miracle.

My 91-year-old Methodist grandmother was channel surfing Thanksgiving morning when she heard my father's name. She had landed on EWTN, the Catholic cable network, and the priest was giving his homily on gratitude. He had read my father's saga in the book Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer, in which my father tells his incredible story.

After the shock of being released seven years early from his unjust 10-year federal prison sentence, Dad became so grateful for the smallest mundane chores done in freedom: laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, etc. It was a poignant reminder from my dad that Thanksgiving day to be grateful for all of our freedoms, and to be especially grateful for faith, family, and friends.

We miss my dad so much, especially during the holidays, and I know that many of you are experiencing the same bittersweet longing for lost loved ones. Know that they are actually quite close.

May God bless you and yours--whether living in this world or in the next--this Thanksgiving day. We have so much to be thankful for, starting with the gift of faith! 💝🙏🏻

Gene Fulmer had an extraordinary grace: an illumination of conscience that led to a profound conversion. You won't want to miss this riveting testimony of what the Holy Spirit can do when we give him permission to have access to our lives! P.S.

A note from Maggie 💝

Ceci’s friend Maggie, who is due to deliver her baby girl on Christmas Day, asked me to thank all of you who so generously blessed her with baby gifts and Amazon gift cards:

“Thank you all so much! I’m absolutely overwhelmed with love—you have no idea. Seriously, I cannot say ‘thank you’ enough. So much stress was taken off my shoulders knowing we will be taken care of while I can’t work. I went to bed, and when I woke up the next morning almost everything had been purchased on my wish list!! I couldn’t believe it! 🥹😭😭😭 The love is crazy 💕💕💕. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness 💝 Maggie

As Maggie’s Confirmation sponsor, I thank you, dear friends, for helping me show her what God’s unconditional love looks like. 💝🙏🏻😘

Baby Gifts for Maggie

If any of you would like to bless Ceci’s young friend, Maggie, who is due to deliver her baby girl, Amari, on Christmas Day, the link to her Amazon wish list is below. Maggie is unmarried and currently without a job, though I expect she will return to working in the restaurant field after the baby is born. Thank you for your kindness, dear friends. Maggie (aka Mary Milla on the Amazon registry) will be so surprised! 💝💝💝 UPDATE: It looks like we cleared out her wish list!!There wasn’t much on the list when I first saw it, but I know an Amazon gift card will be great for future needs. God bless you, Glories! You amaze me with your goodness!!! 🥹💝🙏🏻https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/mary-milla-december-2024-neworleans/2FPM1N3NWY6OB

7 Lessons from Whitewater Rafting
(or How to Remain at Peace When You Are Afraid), by Kitty Cleveland

7 Life Lessons from Whitewater Rafting
(or How to Remain at Peace When You’re Afraid)

by Kitty Cleveland

Years ago I joined some friends in a thrilling whitewater rafting excursion down the frigid Snake River in Jackson Hole, WY. I had rafted down the Nantahala River in North Carolina many times in the past (once getting trapped under the raft), and I’d even rafted this river before in a large raft. But this time was different.

This time I ended up being assigned the front of a little two-person duckie with a wisp of a woman steering in back. Seriously, I easily had about six inches and 60 pounds on her. I hollered out to our fearless leader on the big, safe raft next to us, "Shouldn't I be in the back of this thing?" She assured me that my strength would be needed to power through the danger up ahead. That's when I started praying. Lesson 1: ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE GOD FIRST.
