Does a child or youth at Coyote Hill feel blessed and thankful? Would we be grateful, if we were in their shoes?

As we finish the Thanksgiving season, going full-speed-ahead through the holidays, we’d like to share with you one of our teenager’s thoughts about what she is thankful for in her life. Perhaps it will serve as a reminder to slow down and focus on our blessings.

on Blessings

“I’m thankful for all Coyote Hill has done for me. It has given me a place where I can be with friends and people who love me. I’m thankful for all my belongings. I know some people in the world don’t have as many things as I do. I’m also thankful for my friends that support me in anything I want to try, by attending those activities with me. I’m also thankful for all my talents. God has given me the gift of knowledge and I thank Him for giving me the ability to have good grades. I’m also thankful that God gives me a friend when I need someone to talk to.

I’m thankful that God has given me the chance to have a relationship with His son, and He’s the best friend anyone can have. God listens to me no matter what. He believes in me even when I don’t believe in myself. He will be there for me even when no one else will. He can take a situation that is not the best and make it the best possible! I’m thankful that God has provided me with more than enough food. I’m thankful for all the beautiful animals and breath-taking sights that He has put on the planet.All of that is definitely worth being thankful for!” --Amy, age 13

Our Volunteers

Coyote Hill has always been blessed with amazing volunteers and the past several weeks have been no exception. A large slate of workers have given their time to do so many varied tasks, from turning trees into lumber, to cleaning & organizing our homes in preparation for the holidays. We are so grateful for ALL of you and your service!
