It is that time of year again, Thanksgiving! It is time to be around family and friends that we haven't seen in awhile or just being introduced to. This is my favorite time of year, not only because of the food but also the time of fellowship with the ones you love. This is the perfect time to catch up on what everyone has been up too. Our lives can get so busy with work, school, ministry and our families that we hardly have anytime to call or meet up with our loved ones. If you are blessed this Thanksgiving to spend time with your family please take this opportunity to tell them how much you love and care for them.Let them know, even though you don't see each other often or hear from one another, that you keep them in prayer. This is also a perfect time to reach out to friends and family members who are not saved. Tell them what God has done for you in your life and what you are thankful for. Tell them how Jesus has blessed you to see another year and has kept you. Sharing how much we are thankful for Christ in our lives is one of the best ways to share His love.
In Ephesians 3:14-19, Apostle Paul gives us this encouraging word on how to pray for our loved ones:
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
I pray and hope that the Lord blesses you and your family this Thanksgiving Holiday!
I want to share this song that I love! It is called "Thank You" sung by Mary Mary. Hope you are bless by this song.
O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His doings among the peoples!
1 Chronicles 16: 8
