| Praise God - 2009-12-05 |
| I am here in India serving as a nurse and Bible teacher to 34 children and 60 adult Bible students. I wanted to share how great it is to see these orphans praise God and sing and do action to your song "Open the Eyes of My Heart", It is one of their favorites along with "Mighty to Save." Thanks for sharing your gift with us here in Kottayam, India. |

| I am Thankful for the decades of music that I have been blessed by..but most recently the songs that you sing with The African Children's Choir..the refugee children have sung "When I Think of You" at camp and every time they hear the song from my car they sing along with it ..but more than that, they know to turn to the song on their own, sing it and to Jesus when life does isn't going their way..Thank you for allowing the Lord to use your life to continually through the decades encourage others..There are so many more stories..to many to mention here..but your music blesses the nations here in Dallas..
In Him,

| I am a heart attack victim he is recovering ok so far. The Lord has touched me in a special way now, I am able to spread his glory thru poetry..... I have never written poetry much less on the Lord ever.... He has touched me with a special gift that I share at church a lot. I love the Lord with a passion and really do Love Michael's music which I first heard from a Bill Gaither recording on Dr. Billy Graham at the Cove in North Carolina. When I heard the song "Above All" I cried, it was the inspiration that me back to the fold of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord Jesus for saving us and thank you Michael W. Smith for helping me back to the lord thru your music....

| Thankful for YOU! - 2009-12-02 |
| I'm thankful for getting to meet you at the Nov. 19 concert in Johnstown, PA!!!! What I'm NOT thankful for is the security guard who wouldn't let my husband take your picture while autographing my CD cover while others were allowed and the devastation that is following me daily by missing out on my once in a lifetime chance!!!! But, I am so thankful I got to meet you and hear your beautiful music from the front row!!! But I can't let go of the fact that I missed a picture with you - my one and only chance and I am deeply saddened by this. Many Blessings to you and your family! I pray that you come back to Johnstown, PA again in the future so that maybe, just maybe, God will give me a second chance, and I'll take it this time, even if it means getting thrown out of the building! |

| Family does Thanksgiving on Friday because my sister cooks for the homeless at the Salvation Army on Thanksgiving Day. God Bless Peg. May of 2008 -healed of kidney cancer. Thanking God for another year of cancer freedom. The peace that is beyond all human understanding - sometimes the answer to our prayers is simply being cradled in our Father's arms of grace and letting HIM take care of it. I had cancer for almost 10 years and didn't know it. His grace shined on me all those years...for that I am truely forever grateful. |

| Thanks all the MWS entourage. This site has such incredible testimonies from Gods beautiful parts of the earth I'll never see! Amen. I love you all and am so thankful we are encouraged with each other as we read and feel so relative! I always say, " We look different, live in different houses, but those are the two distinctions only. Otherwise, we are all the same. All the same. Jobs or money lend no difference...all the same. Amen. Love you all, and you too Smitty and family! All for His glory and Kingdom! PS You just gotta smile so greatly when you think of the joy of The Lord.
MW, definate road well traveled, well traveled. Oh, yeah. |

| I am thankful for.... - 2009-11-29 |
| Our Father's love & our savior, Jesus. I'll be
forever & eternally thankful! But this last year we have been blessed with good friends,more like angels, who without them,
I don't know how we could have got through. My brother came to dinner for Thanksgiving!
We didn't know where he was for many, many years.
At the end of last year, we found him, and he came for Thanksgiving and that was a true blessing! The day before Thanksgiving, I ran into a cousin that I hadn't seen in 30 something years, and in this past year, I also have been blessed with Michael's music. Last Fall I went to see him for the first time, & of course I got to hear 2 out of 3 of the songs that I went to hear which was so good.
But I was inspired so much by his love & enthusiasm for our Father & his Kingdom!! So we've had so much to be grateful for this year. |

| All the things we take for granted, thats what I'm thankful for. The stars, the mountains, the air we breath. My eyesight, my voice, my hearing, being able to walk, or touch or smell. Thankful for each new day. The birds, all Gods creatures. Everyday its a journey, and each new day he paints a picture in the sky, the clouds, weather they be gray or puffy white. I'm just thankful I have a God who created Heaven and Earth.And also I'm Thankful for my family and friends. |

| Thanksgiving: Heart in Service - 2009-11-27 |
| On Oct. 15, together with my family I attended your concert in Yorba Linda, CA. Although I knew about the concert quite a bit in advance, I could not make up my mind to go until three days before; that's when I finally decided to buy the tickets. Everything was running through my head, and all the things that were going to be left undone that night stared me in the face as I looked at my insane schedule. As we arrived at church the excitement began to build however… and that night my life was changed.
Although I've been a Christian all my life (with some slips & falls), when life threw some fast balls at me earlier this year, I lost my joy, hope and faith. I’ve been tested in many ‘departments’ of life, but this time I was affected more than ever. I was going to church, leading worship, participating and organizing activities, but inside I felt empty, unhappy and bitter. I was on autopilot… functioning like a robot.. This because my church that I‘ve been serving in for almost two decades has been going through very difficult times, and I came to the frustrating realization that things were not going to get better any time soon, if ever (Second Chance comes to mind).. So the devil succeeded in taking my heart out of serving… heart out of service.. No love, just a body to go through the motions..
And then I went to your concert that night… and I felt like I was in heaven… honestly, words can’t describe how amazing it was.. I was HAPPY to worship, HAPPY to be in church, HAPPY to jump out of my seat & sing!! Healing rain poured down, and the mountain of hurt that I’d been dragging with me disappeared. As I watched you sing & worship, I prayed that God would give you strength to go on.. I wanted that night to never end. I was so amazed to feel the passion you have for Christ and for people!! Your energy was so incredible, that after we got home that night I put in the New Hallelujah dvd, and kept worshipping for two more hours. I must of played the dvd at least twice a day for weeks.. this was my new way of doing devotions. I had a changed heart, a new heart, a heart that was once again “in service“. I found my peace, joy & hope that night at your concert, and I can’t thank God and you enough for that!
So today, on Thanksgiving Day, amongst the long list of things that I am grateful for, I want you to know how grateful I am for you and for the work that you do. You are an instrument in God’s hands in more ways than one. I will forever pray for you! Thank you, and God bless you! |

| Thankful for a Home - 2009-11-27 |
| We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but if we did I'd be thankful for God looking down on me and pulling me out from an abusive relationship which consequently left me homeless and He provided me with an opportunity to stay in a hostel, brought me back to church and now I have two offers for a flat and a house that means I'll have a home before Christmas - isn't God good - all the time? |

| lots of thank yous - 2009-11-27 |
| Thankful God gave the Pilgrims such great hope and strength when they left England to worship freely. Thankful for Christ in me, He never gave up and kept trial in my path that allowed testimony. Thankful for moment to moment conviction and prayer. Thankful to teach my girls and others the Truth. Thankful for my christain family that's spread out over the world, and those I see each day, that keep me encouraged with their ever unconditional love. Thankful Jesus that you hear me all day all the time and have the tremendous patience and love as I walk through the world...thankful for our church, my study Bible! and the gift of my ears hearing The Word of Life in prayer, in service, in fellowship, and at MWS shows(oh yeah) and on the music player. Halleluiah, and peace and wellness to all. The world needs us now more and more to share and spread the Gospel. (What is going on out there?) Thankful for SCRIPTURE!Thankful
To give ourselves at all times for service in Him. Give, give, give! "Shine your light and let the whole world see, we're singing for The Glory of the Risen King..." Jesus, shine Your light and let the whole world see.." So thankful to sing that as loud and as joyfully as my voice can withstand. Pray for the youth, and that their eyes shut out all that is so abilical and saturating everything,everywhere. We all need to rally for "back to the basics, the sacred, the family, the all He commanded of us!" Onward Christian Soldiers! Thankful for the simple. Thankful for great shephards and their ministries, and praying they can reach leaders and people in visibility. Thankful for MW, his site here that allows me to yak yak yak( I still don't get out much!!! Heeeheee) and the tremendous music that we all love soooo much! okay, i'm done! |

| I am thankful for you Smitty. God used you as a conduit to touch my heart after my mom died; to tell me everything was going to be alright. I thank you for being there. I thank you for your music that has touched me greatly and helped me thru some really tough times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am unable to partake in any thanksgiving dinner since I am working. I am giving of myself...it's better to give than to receive. Thank you for the reminder. |

| His faithfulness - 2009-11-26 |
| Thankful for God's faithfulness - to bring me to Colombia to preach the gospel, for the family He gave me here, for all the music that has flowed through our lives, for the privilege to worship Him, for that which is to come - no matter what - cause it will pass through Him first. |

| Thanksgiving - 2009-11-26 |
| A special day to give thanks for all He's given..so I begin by going to Mass and sharing in the Eucharist. Just finished dinner with my mom, she's not up to a big family gathering this year so we ordered a feast from Mimi's Cafe. Mom's recovering from angioplasty a couple of weeks ago, so we're keeping it quiet and simple this year. Later, will begin writing out my Christmas greetings and sorting through gifts purchased already.:-) Blessings to all on this beautiful day...and happy Advent (begins Sunday). Peace! |

| Thanksgiving Blessings - 2009-11-26 |
| I will be spending the day with my family.
Found this wonderful quote that sums it all up and thought I would share.....
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." -- Melody Beattie |
