Give Thanks For the Past

As we approach our Thanksgiving Day celebrations, let's make sure we include a moment of spiritual reflection and thanksgiving to God. We could start by thanking Him for His many blessings in our past. Have you enjoyed a good year? Has God blessed your life? Then choose some particular blessing and offer thanks to Him. At the front of our past blessings stands our SALVATION! One day we were lost, hopeless, and helpless. Then Jesus came to us offering forgiveness, eternal life, and a brand new start. You should be thankful for your salvation and offer spoken thanks to God for his many blessings since you have been saved.

Thanks for your prayers on Sunday. I was able to preach two sermons and assist with a funeral and had fairly good strength. It was a special treat to have Dr. Nina Gunter and her family worship with us yesterday on one of her rare Sundays off. My strength is returning, so keep praying for a full recovery before I hit the road this week for a family reunion in Tennessee. I love you!
