Phillipians 1:3-6
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy,
for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News
about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.
And I am certain that God, who began the good work
within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished
on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
I am taking a moment tonight to entertain thoughts of Thanksgiving and all that comes with it. Of course I am creating one list after another - one with dishes that other family members are bringing and another with tasks that must be completed before all 40 family members enter my home and still another that contains the dreaded grocery list (only dreaded because the stores will be treacherous).
But who can even speak the word "Thanksgiving" without taking time to consider all that we have to be thankful for. I feel doubly blessed - I have a precious family with lots of grandkids and I have a church family that blesses me continuously.
Tonight, as I think of you - our church family - my sisters in Christ - my heart overflows with thankfulness. You are our partners in ministry. You are our burden bearers - our encouragers - our prayer warriors.
Thank you for being all of those and for supporting us for all of these 17 1/2 years of ministry here in Magnolia.
I challenge you to take the time to be thankful.
You might even take a moment to leave a comment and share with us what you are thankful for.
Have a blessed day of thanksgiving!
