I saw on Facebook where people are stating what they are grateful for. And many of these are very sweet thank you's. Most of us are thankful for our families and our children. And I assure you, other than thankful for Christ, being thankful for our families and friends is most important. There are many people around this time of year, Thanksgiving and Christmas those minds are on loved ones they have lost. One of which is my brother-in-law JC. Joyce who was Willard's sister, passed away a little over a year ago. JC is still having a very hard time without her. And I know that this Thanksgiving and Christmas is going to be very hard for him. I have a Facebook friend, Kathy Spriggs, who lost her son, what seems to me was a couple of Years ago, but I'm really not sure about the amount of time that has passed. I cannot imagine what she, and many other parents who have lost their children go through on a daily basis. And I am sure that this time of year brings much sadness to their hearts. And I do want Kathy and any other parent, spouse, or slibling, in any situation to know that I may not know your name, and I may not know the circumstances, but I do pray for you every day.
While trying to come up with a thank you for the many blessings that God has given me. I have discovered that there are no words in the English language nor in any other language that could express the thank you that comes from my heart, to God for all the many blessings so rich with His love for all of us His children. I mean, each second of every day of my life He has been with me. He has protected me, lead me in the right way, whispered in my ear comforting words when I needed them, throughout my lifetime. He has healed me when I was sick. Chasten me when I needed it. He has provided an angel to guard my way, and keep me safe. But most of all, He has given His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for me. No words can come close to saying thank you to Him for such a wonderful gift. Because with that gift I now have eternal life. I now have hope that although this human body may die, my soul and spirit remain alive to join my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
So thank you Lord God for Your many blessings and thank You for salvation that only comes through Your Son Christ the Lord.
Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, And we'd like to say to each of you, Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be very blessed.
Until next time, God bless and God save.
