A Blessed Thanksgiving to you All!
Over the last week or so I have been sending out to my Church, we affectionately call Dutchtown, a email each day about things that "I'm Thankful For..." Today, I want to widen the group I share with on this day before Thanksgiving, a wide variety of my Thankfulness. A Cornucopia of Thanksgiving! I sure hope I spelled Cornucopia right because spell check might not know that word!
Anyway, on this day before Thanksgiving I am thankful for Jesus Christ and the salvation I know thru Him. There was a time in my life when I did not know Jesus and His saving grace. I am thankful to our Father in Heaven for giving us His Son.
I am thankful for the strength of the Holy Spirit when it is hard to live out our faith. A few words from C.S. Lewis in his "Screwtape Letters: "Satan's cause is never more in danger then when a human being no longer desiring, but still intending to do God's will, looks around upon a world from which every trace of God seems to have vanished and asks why he has been forsaken, yet still obeys." Thank you God for that kind of Faith & your Holy Spirit!
I am thankful to God for noisy kids at church and grand kids at home this Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for two loving daughters and the respect I have and am proud to give to my two son-in-laws.
I heard this one in Church on Sunday and I echo it as well, I am thankful for healing drugs. The person in church simply said that they were thankful for drugs. Which of course caused me to remember the song, "I Want a New Drug" by Hewie Lewis and the News in 1984, from the then cassette "Sports".
I am thankful that I can remember such dumb trivia, but cannot remember what I wore yesterday!
O.K. it's time to end this rambling. I am Thankful for those of you that read this and that from time to time it might bless you, challenge you or cause a smile to rest upon your face.
Anyway, have a joyful Thanksgiving! Pastor Rick Koch Dutchtown Church
