Hope to see you all there!

Are you really thankful?

I know, I know, it's thanksgiving weekend. A time to gather with family and down pounds of "fair trade" turkey. It has occured to me more times than once, that often the weekend blows by and we have gained 10 pounds and had lots of laughs. But actually how much time was spend really in thanksgiving? I don't want to slap a downer on you but wouldn't it be nice even once a year, to really set aside some time over the weekend to be truly thankful; to take even a few minute of silence and thank God for all his goodness to us. To thank God for his grace and mercy, his love and forgiveness, his tender compasssions, his spectacular sun rises and sun sets, his provision in our lives, clean water and good food, a roof over our heads and a place to rest our weary bodies. Paul writes to the Ephesians church: 5:15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope this thanksgiving that you and I can set aside some time in the midst of fun and family to be thankful to God for everything. What a great way to have a great thanksgiving. So from our family to yours, have a great thanksgiving, and hey, take it easy on the Turkey!
