FROM OUR PASTOR…
Dear Folks,
O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! 2 Let us come into God’s presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to God with songs of praise! – Psalm 95: 1-2
How often to we stop just to say thank you to God? How often to we revel in the beauty of creation? How often do we recount the ways that God has blessed us?
Sometimes we take things for granted: people, talents, gifts, circumstances, Jesus, Spirit, God…
Thanksgiving is a time to remind us that ALL THINGS are gifts from God, deserving of acknowledgment and
gratitude.
May our Thanksgiving be a time to remember and celebrate the blessings we have.
But not just one day, but every day, let us give thanks to God, for God is good, all the time!
Peace,
Rev. Lucille
