HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO ONE AND ALL
It's funny in America we celebrate Thanksgiving Day once a year. But in God's community we celebrate thanksgiving everyday. Or at least when we pray. I think about that Phil.4 chapter where it says don't worry about anything, pray about everything, and give thanks. God is telling us from beginning to end to give thanks. Why do you think that is? Are we not grateful? Are we self absorbed? Do we need to cultivate more thanksgiving and praise? I think about Kirk Franklin, he certainly has a praise- a- thon going with his music.
Happy Thanksgiving we have much to be thankful for. Maybe we could set up a list and everyone add a couple of things that they are thankful for?
I'm thankful for eyes that see and ears that hear.
I'm thankful for my salvation.
I'm thankful for warm water to take a shower whenever I want. Just a couple of thoughts that come to my mind today.

I am thankful for this worldwide 'tribe' to share the journey with, and be encouraged by. (Maybe I'm really saying I 'm thankful for the worldwide body of christ!) mags
