We are beginning a beautiful time of year. Affectionately known as the Holiday season, it appropriately starts off with Thanksgiving. It is our opportunity to give thanks to God for all that he has provided and done for us.   It is obvious that one day of feasting in celebration of His amazing provision, is inadequate to the task. But we make a go it, especially in the feasting department! One can not say enough about being thankful to God. The reasons are infinite in their diversity, with some being public and others being personal.   They are as numerous as every breath we take.

It is easy to get caught up in all the nonsense this world is dishing out right now. If one were to focus on it you could become despondent and want to find some kind of escape, and many do. But in Christ, we have a different set of eyes. Just as we are to be His hands and feet, I think it best if we also have his eyes. When we have his eyes and see the world through them, we will see what is possible, we will see people with compassion and love, and we will see our circumstances with gratitude for every blessing. This Sabbath we celebrate Thanksgiving as a church. We will have an extended praise and testimony time. I want to be sure that everyone has an opportunity to praise God for all of the blessings in your life. So put on the eyes of Christ and consider how will you give him praise as we come together.

See you at church!
