The Thanksgiving holiday is quickly approaching, as we prepare to gather with friends and family. It is always a wonderful time to connect with those we love, and spend time reflecting on the blessings we enjoy each day, and the goodness of our God.
Sometimes, life gets so busy, that we lose focus on just how blessed we are. Although the political and social climate of our country is polarized, and there is disagreement on all sides, we still enjoy freedoms far greater than many around the world.
We have access to clean drinking water. We’re able to visit the grocery store, and purchase what we need to provide meals for our family. We have transportation and freedom of travel. We can work to provide for our families, and enjoy vacations and trips.
And the greatest blessing of all, the revelation of Jesus Christ. We have the opportunity to turn from our sins, be buried with Him in baptism, and walk in newness of life with His Spirit leading and guiding us.
May we never forget, or fail to give Him all the praise, honor, and glory for what He has done in our lives, and what He continues to do each and every day.
I have included some scriptures to focus on as we near the season of Thanksgiving.
I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
