THANKS GIVING 2019: IN EVERY SEASON

Good Evening Friends!

I pray all is well with you

I must say I am thoroughly enjoying this series of focusing on GIVING THANKS

I keep thinking about the instruction given in I Thessalonians 5:18

It is not a suggestion, not a recommendation but an actual directive:

‘Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’

HOW POWERFUL IS THAT!

I know so many who spend their whole lives trying to find out God’s will for their lives

I know I have done it

YET – It could not be any clearer

‘GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES’

In every situation, in every instance, IN EVERY SEASON – GIVE THANKS

NOW – this time of year, thoughts go toward autumn leaves and gatherings with family and friends

HOWEVER – tonight, here in Virginia Beach, it is feeling more like a wintry mix – SO COLD!

YET – THERE ARE STILL REASONS TO BE THANKFUL

Thankful for shelter

    There is no place like home

Thankful for eyes to see and a body to feel –

    Even if it is seeing the rain and feeling the cold

Thankful for friends and family

     I know I am thankful for my sons and my good friends

Thankful for employment

     Even when it is challenging

Thankful for peace-filled moment

   SO THANKFUL FOR PEACE!!!

The list could continue and continue ...

BUT – enough about what I am thankful for

Why don’t you take some time to count all things you are thankful for?

SO MANY REASONS TO GIVE THANKS

                IN EVERY SEASON GIVE THANKS

I am thankful for you & praying you have blessed, restful and WARM evening

God Bless!
