“If we pause to think, we’ll pause to thank.”

Those words were penned by William Shakespeare. I pray that you will take some time to pause and remember all the things God has done in your life and be truly thankful. Author and Co-founder of Dayspring Cards Roy Lessin writes..

Everything in your life that flows out of love has come to you from God. Everything in your life that is good has been initiated by God. God has done everything for you, He is everything to you, and He is enriching other lives through you. His generosity is overwhelming, His blessings are limitless, His love is endless.

No one has favored you more than God. He has removed every stain of your sin, He has cleansed all the defilement of your iniquity, and He has silenced every voice of condemnation that hung over your head. He has saved you, redeemed you, and justified you.

All of God’s grace abounds toward you, all of Christ’s riches are made available to you, and all spiritual blessings are provided for you. In Christ, you have received the treasures that can never be taken away, the hope that can never fade away, and the life that will never pass away.

As you walk with Jesus day by day, you will find that your thankfulness to Him is an ever-increasing symphony of praise, building into a lifelong crescendo of gratitude that flows from your heart to His. You, who have so little, have received so much, because He has been so generous.

God has been so generous to us! Now take a moment to reread this article and allow the blessings of God to soak deep within your spirit. Thank Him today from the depths of your heart for giving you life in Jesus’ name. We are His children and we’re blessed with the BEST Father anyone could ever ask for. It’s a joy to be a member of the Body of Christ at First Church. Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

Yours in Christ’s Love,

Mark

PS –As I mentioned Sunday; we’re making some changes in our Sunday morning worship schedule beginning Dec. 5. We will host Sunday School for all ages from 9:30 – 10:30 AM and then worship together as the First Church Family beginning at 10:45 AM.
It will be a great time to gather together in worship and to invite others to attend as well!
Blessings!
