I love Thanksgiving. It's a new season of our creator's beauty. Crisp cold sunny days, a warm house with a fire and my family all gathered in our home. It also brings a strong reminder of just HOW MUCH WE HAVE. I think of the homeless and am so grateful that so many are reaching out to help in our community.
I am reading a book titled "The Strength of Mercy". I am thankful that we as followers of Jesus, we are to reach past our "comfort zones" to reach out beyond our borders to the lost and forgotten. My dear friend & her husband are adopting a little "African Princess" and my heart overflows with excitement that this little girl who lives thousands of miles away will soon be in a warm and loving home with so many people who love her.
Our pastor has challenged our congregation to memorize a couple of passages from the bible. Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be to test a approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing & perfect will. I love reading the bible, but I admit that I have a hard time memorizing scripture. I am so thankful to be challenged and feel accountable to memorize his word. I have a long way to go, and much to learn. Jesus gives me unconditional love and grace---this I am most thankful for.
