Just wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hoping you will remember the "Reason for the Season." Do we concentrate too much on turkey and pumpkin pies? Shouldn't we honor the One whose love makes us really thankful?
I am so thankful to Him for my salvation. If that was all He ever did for us, it would be (and is) awesome. That the God of the universe, the Alpha and Omega, loved sinful man enough to suffer and die for him, is almost beyond comprehension. But His continued love and incredible blessings make me almost speechless. God, our Father, loves us more than our own human fathers possibly could. I pray you will come to Him as a little child - believing that He is good. All the time.
Remember Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Father God, help us to come to You every day as a little child, trusting and believing in Your goodness. Many times we complicate the simple message of love with human ideas and theological gibberish. Keep our faith childish and our trust in You deep. In Jesus wonderful name - Amen.

Thanks Nancy, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours--Be Blessed. I love Jeremiah 29:11, one of the greatest scripture verses in THE WHOLE BOOK. My heart welled up as I read it, I needed this today. Holidays bring joy and sadness alike, when someone like you helps us to focus on THE JOY, then they have been a true servant of THE LORD. Thanks for reminding me my CONFIDENCE IS IN THE LORD. Love, Peace and Joy!
Praise God for our salvation through Jesus Christ! The best thing to be thankful for! :)
