Today, let’s focus our prayers on those who are having a difficult day today, during the Thanksgiving season, without a loved one who was here to celebrate Thanksgiving, 2019. We can all name a number of people in this situation. Pray for them.

Thankfulness – Day 25

Today, I’m thankful for all the beautiful fall weather we have been having. God provides it every year about this time. Whether this time of year reminds you of raking leaves, warming fires inside or outside, family gathered together, holiday foods, fireworks, or anything else from your memory, I think we all find time to be thankful. What a great blessing to be able to thank God for all He has done for us!

If you have not already done so, find time to be thankful to God.
