Thanksgiving

I pray that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. My prayer is that everyone would take this time to reflect on all the things God has done in our lives. Even when you have a "JOB like year" , like I have had. This year has been a rough one. I was laid off from my job back in July, which has caused us to fall behind in our finances. My wife, who already suffers from Lupus, has had some more serious health issues that the doctors can't seem to figure out. Then to top it off, I hit a deer the other night and wrecked our car, which I was trying to sell to get us caught up. Some would say how can I possibly be thankful? Well believe me sometimes it is tuff, but I look to Ephesians 1, 13-14. "And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God". You see, I am thankful for the ultimate gift God has given to me, and you. The gift of everlasting life with Jesus. The trials I am experiencing now are temporary. The joy that I have knowing I am loved by God and will someday spend eternity in His presence far outweighs any circumstances I am going through in this life. My friends, we have a lot to be thankful for. So as everyone gathers with their families and friends this Thanksgiving, I pray that you too would remember the ultimate gift God has given us. His death on the cross wasn't just for a select few, but was for all of us. His death is the ultimate gift. Be safe this holiday and God Bless
