Plans are being made for Thanksgiving, which means it’s time
to look back and give thanks for God’s faithful blessings. Each year, I consider who or what I’m
grateful for.
I’m grateful for God’s faithfulness. When we sin and rebel against God, our
sin separates us from God. But God
comes looking for us and calls to us; this shows that God wants a relationship
with you and me. God is
faithful to his promises and to his people. When you or I stray from God, He comes looking for us. So let’s thank God for his
faithfulness.
I’m grateful for my family. My wife Jane and I celebrated our 30th
anniversary this year. Our son is
blessed with a good job and friends in Houston. Our daughter Megan is serving God as a volunteer for elders
in Chicago. Our daughter Becca and
her boyfriend Josh are now engaged.
God has blessed us.
I’m thankful for our church family. We've gone through challenges and
celebrations together. We worship
God faithfully, care for each other, serve our communities, love children, and
help others.
This year has brought challenges and blessings. Some have faced health struggles, endured financial struggles
or lost loved ones. Some are
blessed with a new baby or anniversary or wedding. Some have made new friends or rediscovered old friends. I’d like to say thanks for our readers
who serve our communities and strive to make it a better place to live. I appreciate those who love and serve
God faithfully.
On this thanksgiving, please join me in giving gratitude to
God for his blessings.
