Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Friends

Just wanted to wish you well on this Thanksgiving holiday and hope you have a great time with your family. My sister in law, Donna, asked if I'd say a prayer over dinner tomorrow and I said "yes", if it was alright if I wrote it down first and read it. 

Anyhow,,,I took a ride in my truck and started thinking about everything in this life that God has given me and continues to give me it was just overwhelming. And then, while thinking about this, I heard the Christmas song  [Oh Holy Night] on an XM radio station and got tears in my eyes. 

I started to think of where I might be today ( if I were even alive) if I never  accepted Jesus in my life. This is what I am personally most thankful for, and it is the foundation to the appreciation of everything else He has given me. The things that I so stubbornly was so blind to for so many wasted years. 

Then the tears were running down my cheeks because for the first time in my life I actually realized that God's love for us is greater than we can ever imagine. The Holy Spirit was beside me in my Dodge Ram and I don't know what words to use to describe the way I felt.

One thing that comes to mind to pray about tomorrow is how God provides the feast that we are about to eat, but never let us forget that this food is just fuel for our physical body to keep us walking this eart , but He also provides the necessary, spiritual nutrition for our souls as well, through the Holy Spirit, without which, we would surely perish from starvation of the soul.

 I think that the most purest, passionate form of thanksgiving that there ever was, was when Jesus said in The Gospel of John.........." I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty".

God bless you.
