In everything give thanks

I hope your week was blessed and you considered yourself as highly favored by God. This is not just cliche but it is a reality when we think of all the seen and unseen dangers that we escaped, because of God's grace and Mercy.

 Did you realize that Thanksgiving is less than a week away? Yes it is. I know that most of us will be spending time with family, eating and drinking and having a good time.  As is the tradition for many we will share something for which we are thankful. This custom did not start with your family, but in the bible we are told by God to give thanks. As a matter of fact He tells us that we should give thanks in everything with prayer and supplication (Phil. 4:6)

  This is certainly not an easy thing to do when we face hard times and encounter some difficult situations. How do you give thanks for the bad things? As we ask this question I cannot help but thinking that we give thanks, because everything works together for our good- Roman 8:28.

In case you were planning to boycott "giving thanks" remember that this is something that God desires of us to do at all times.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

In His Service,
