Dear fellow global missionaries , Dear friends, have you been at peace in the grace of the Lord? We are still doing well thanks to the grace and protection of the Lord and your prayers and support. From a personal point of view, there is nothing to be grateful for. However, if there is something that still weighs us down like the burden in the heart of the apostle Paul, it is that there are still too many people who do not accept the gospel, and they are running down the path of destruction and dying by themselves. I think that 's probably what makes you feel sad. Fall has arrived this year as well. Perilla seeds, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, and various vegetables in our field, which until recently were green and green, all disappeared along with the autumn rain after generously giving us everything they could give us. They are invisible now, but we cannot fully realize the riches Heavenly Father has given us through them until we count them one by one . The habit of counting the blessings given is the passage of abundance that lets us know how abundant our lives are. This year, the sesame leaves from our vegetable garden have expanded beyond Tajikistan to Uzbekistan, Nepal, and Russia. Ministers visiting those countriesThe sesame leaves obtained from the field were delivered to the ministers who had not been able to see sesame leaves all year round, and they played a role as a cutie to soothe the nostalgia of the ministers in the region. For the past two weeks, the fall rain has fallen like a monsoon. It rained on us, but it snowed in the distant mountains. White peaks adorned with new snow fill our field of vision and draw out their appearance . To us, the unreasonable anxiety that those romantic mountain peaks might be like everyone else crosses our hearts. Recently, many Ukrainians and Russians have come to Tajikistan and all Central Asian countries where we live . These are people who can afford relatively economically . Those who fail to do so remain in their own countries and suffer the same pain that others should. I am afraid that the beautiful white mountain peaks in the distance will not become a white color of fear to them. Among the Ukrainians and Russians who have come here, there are many young people . I think they may have escaped conscription. However, besides them, people of various age groups stand out . It seems that winter has come down to this place where winter is relatively warm and sunlight is plentiful, as the places to travel are significantly reduced due to various restrictions. theseThere is absolutely no dislike for each other that we see on the news. There seems to be no resentment or ill feeling between the people . They roam the same streets peacefully and cause no trouble. If there was resentment and anger seen in the news, it would have been expressed here as well, but I don't see it at all. And there is no measure to catch young people who fled to avoid conscription and send them back to their home countries. Russia's intelligence network would be able to do that, but it doesn't happen at all. It seems that it is a measure that will not catch those who run away from the war . The problem is the soldiers and civilians who remain on the battlefield. Now General Tong is striking the entire Ukrainian front . Soldiers and those who can afford it can make a living, but poor civilians who have not prepared for the winter are the problem. And our ministers who stay with them and share life and death with them are also a problem. We are enjoying the bounty of Thanksgiving, and they live each day with worry. It should be a Thanksgiving Day that deepens the depth of gratitude in our lives . And I hope it will be a Thanksgiving day that does not forget those who are in hardship .In the aftermath of the war in Ukraine, the number of patients not only in our clinic but also in all clinics has noticeably decreased over the past few months, and all industries except for special industries are complaining of a recession. And depressed businessmen, self-employed people, and people who have lost their jobs come to us complaining of stress. Some complain of insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, and anger control disorders. And there are patients who complain of pain without cause and excruciating pain that does not even respond to painkillers. There are patients who come to us with tears in their eyes because they have tried all the treatments but nothing has worked. How and who treats these patients? People who have been unable to live a normal life due to stress or who complained of extreme pain receive acupuncture and receive correction to overcome stress and gain strength to overcome pain, and I feel great comfort from each other. Those patients who have been treated bring their families and friends with them. So at least our oriental medicine part suffers less from recession. All of this is thanks to the power of prayer from all of you who pray for this place . It is a miracle that patients come to visit us every day . And it's a miracle that healing works happen to them. It is a miracle to meet the people you will meet through this .A small thing is not a miracle. The reason why you don't feel miracles in all trivial things is because of your overestimation of yourself. It 's because something is constantly happening to you who can't do anything, but you can't look at it with mysterious eyes and take it for granted. It is the inertia and arrogance of everyday life that gets used to daily blessings and forgets even gratitude unless it is a greater blessing . Gratitude arises from acknowledging how the little things in our daily lives could have happened and who did it. The reason why life is boring is because you do n't appreciate the little things and think yourself big. Thanksgiving is coming. Looking back, this fact that I could simply be alive doesn't show that I did anything well. If we can't give thanks to the war going on all over the world for the fact that I've done nothing to avoid the pain of that war now, then we may give empty thanksgiving for the upcoming Thanksgiving. If the place I am standing now is peaceful, it is because that peace has come down from heaven. This fall, we thank Heavenly Father that we enter the fall in peace. Seeing that the procession of refugees continued all the way to Central Asia, I give thanks to Heavenly Father with a heart that cares for them.Thank you for your prayers and support for the past year, giving us sorrowful help through tears and sweat, and covering our entire lives with a veil of prayer and becoming a protective shield. As we stand here today, thank you for reminding us that none of the things we have received and enjoyed are taken for granted . Everything is grace and blessing beyond measure. Now is the season to share the grace and blessings that we have received beyond our means. That grace and blessing must flow to a lower place . We must carry them to a place where we do not yet know that grace and blessing . Finally, we must look around from where we are standing so that all people can receive and enjoy the grace and blessings we all have received . We sincerely hope that our prayers and sharing of grace will serve as a catalyst for quickly ending wars around the world. We sincerely bless and pray that you will have a beautiful and abundant Thanksgiving Day and that it will be a Thanksgiving Day to give thanks that Heavenly Father wants . I sincerely hope that the whole family, the whole church, and everyone around you will share thanks and that gratitude will be a beautiful Thanksgiving that overflows the whole world . And I hope that it will be a Thanksgiving Day full of spiritual harvest and spiritual fruits .Posted by Lee Sang-woong Kwon Hyang-mi in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on November 15, 2022 Prayer Title 1. Let it be a thanksgiving day that gives thanks to God's father with the end of the earth. 2. Let the blessings and grace we have received flow down to a lower place and let them all enjoy it together. 3. It's been a long time since I've been in the middle of this year, but let me handle the things I couldn't finish until the end.
