Pastor' Thoughts - November
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every
situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6
We are in the holiday season. There are already Christmas
decorations in the store. And we haven’t had Thanksgiving yet.
It seems it comes faster every year.
During Thanksgiving our focus should be on thanking God
for all of our blessings, not worrying about our trials and
tribulations, but bringing our prayers and petitions, thanking
God for all our blessings while bringing requests to God.
What is your prayer this Thanksgiving? Is it that a loved
one comes to Jesus? Is it a family member who has given up
on being with the family? Is it to have enough finances to get
by from payday to payday? Is it to be healed? I can name
many other things that the prayer might be.
During this time of Thanksgiving, which is mine and
Jack’s favorite holiday, we are thankful for salvation through
Jesus Christ, our family, and our church family. We wish you
a Happy Thanksgiving and love as you give thanks for all the
blessings in your life.
Blessings and love,
Pastor Stephanie and Jack
