Continually Thankful

"Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord . . . for they give thanks to God." ~ Romans 14:6

It's the day after Thanksgiving and many of us have already returned to business as usual in our lives. For one day, we were full of hope, joy, and love. And now, it's back to the same old thing - back to spitefulness, bitterness, and drama.

But Thanksgiving isn't about just one day. God calls us to be continually thankful for the blessings He gives us (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

How we treat one another is a reflection on just how thankful we are for the blessings God has given us.

So... just how thankful are you?

God bless,
J.W.

Thank You

"And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words." ~ Matthew 6:7

Sometimes, we don't need to say a whole lot when we pray.

A simple "thank you" will often suffice.

God bless,
J.W.

Give Thanks

"...give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I know the holidays can be tough for some who may have lost a loved one or may be affected by past pain caused by family, but I just want to encourage you all to give thanks for the things you do have.

We may not have everything we want, but God has been good to us this year and we should give Him thanks this holiday season.

Have a very happy, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving!

God bless,
J.W.
