​Pastor' Thoughts - November​

​

The holidays are coming quickly. November, we focus on giving
thanks. What are you thankful for? Are you so focused on your trials
that it is difficult to give thanks. There are blessings in the midst of
our trials. While Jack and I were sick most of October, I thanked God
for being able to feel pain. I thanked God for my church family lifting
us in prayer daily. I thanked God for a son and daughter-in-law who
got our groceries and helped us get to the doctor.

When we practice focusing on our blessings, we can give thanks for
all the good and less of the bad. We live in a free country and can
worship God in the open. Christians in many parts of the world can't worship freely. We can praise our God and speak the Word openly.

There is much to be thankful for. Share your thankfulness with others.
Invite those who are lonely to spend time with you on Thanksgiving Day.
Have a blessed November and be thankful!
Blessings and love,
Pastor Stephanie & Jack
