HAPPY THANKSGIVING

                                     HAPPY THANKSGIVING

"I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers....

that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of

every good thing which in you in Christ Jesus."

Philemon 4, 6

As people pause to celebrate a day of thanks, most will focus on the good things that they enjoy in life – family, a roof over their heads, food to eat, and all the other material things we appreciate. But there is another area that is neglected:  the spiritual work that Jesus has done in us – cleansing from sin and guilt, peace with God, a Friend we can take our problems and cares to, the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, a life-purpose of living God's plan, and the assurance of a home in heaven, plus many other spiritual blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-14).
 
Today, let's be thankful not only for what God has provided for us materially (which is a lot), but also for what He has done, and is still doing, in us.
 
Have a wonderful day. Love you all.
 
Dad
