Dear Jesus,
There's so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! Thank you for loving me so much that you'd give up your life for me. Thank you for adopting me into your family and for giving me a chance to hear about you and what you did on the cross from a young age. Thank you for giving me the grace to understand and for helping me to receive you into my life! Thank you for my family, friends and the community you've provided for me while I'm at home in the States. Thank you for the community you provided for me in Japan as well. Thank you for a home to live in, food to eat and health to enjoy everything. Thank you for your provision through my ministry partners even though times are really tough. Thank you for your faithfulness and for their faithfulness. Thank you for the freedom I have as an American. Thank you for our leaders. Thank you for all the churches that are established around here that provide places to worship you. Thank you for the beauty of your creation. Thank you for clean water and rain. Thank you for the sunshine. Thank you for seasons. Thank you for LIFE dear Jesus!! There's way too much to be thankful for and I could never express my thankfulness enough to you. Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that YOU are the one I'm most thankful for, and most thankful to. I love you!
Love, Jess

I just wanted to say how I was so encouraged by your work in Japan! I attended the UCC service last Sunday so I heard a little bit of your testimony. Thank you so much for bringing me some hope for that country! I have a friend who went to Japan solely on his own to reach out to the homeless in Japan. and it was hard, but it was also a powerful story. Thank you again, Jessica! I will make sure you are in my prayers and in my fellowship's prayer as well =)
