Oh give thanks unto The Lord;

for He is good:

because His mercy endureth forever.

Psalms 118:1

 

Beverly “Doodle” Williams Watson

“Doodle” learned she is cancer free.  When one medicine quit working, her doctor always tried another one.  Now he says to her to come back for scans periodically for the rest of her life.  What a blessing!

Hymn of the Day – “Near  to the Heart of God”

I think this hymn should calm our stresses!  Can you imagine any other place that would be more calming?

Thankfulness – Day 30 – Thankful People

Today, I’m thankful for those of you who “Count (ed)Your Blessings” this month.  I’m glad you realized all the blessings God has sent your way and took the time to let Him know you appreciated them.  May we have a thankful spirit all year long, whether we write out our thankfulness or not.  I’m sure God appreciates our thankfulness today and every day of the year.

Do some things today to make tomorrow flow smoothly.  I think Sunday is not to be a day of confusion.

Let the little children come to Me,

and don’t stop them,

From Bill Frazier  (last night)

Please add Jerry Byrd to the prayer list, he needs a liver transplant

Mrs. Annie Bell Harrell

Mrs. Annie Bell Harrell has spent five weeks in the hospital in Greensburg, but will be going home today.  Pray for her and her family as she makes this adjustment.

Thankfulness – Day 29 – Sharing People

People share lots of things with others.  Giving of themselves is one of their greatest gifts to others.  If you are not actively sharing with others, let me give you a few examples of ways some people we know share with others:

    • Daily phone calls
    • Fresh flowers from the yard
    • Produce from gardens or orchards
    • Smiles
    • Visits
    • Babysitting
    • Scripture verses
    • Time
    • Transportation
    • Changing light bulbs
    • Firewood
    • Cutting grass
    • Painting
    • Changing a flat tire
    • Pot of soup, cake, etc.
    • Writing and sending cards

I hope you can get some ideas from this list.  These are only a few.  You share by doing what is needed at the moment.

I don’t think Rev. Franklin Graham will mind me passing this invitation on to you.

Here’s a wonderful Thanksgiving Day opportunity you won’t want to miss! FOX News Channel has just announced that they will re-air “The Cross”with Billy Graham on Thursday at 10:00 p.m. EST

You can simply invite those who are with you—believers and nonbelievers—to sit down and watch this special program together, and don’t forget to pass the word about this broadcast to others via email, Facebook, and Twitter.

This is a way all of us can be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission. We were told to “Go therefore and make disciples…” (Matthew 28:19, ESV). Each of us can use our living room—or wherever we happen to be—to share the truth of the Gospel this Thanksgiving.

More than 2.5 million households watched “The Cross” on FOX News Channel when it was first broadcast three weeks ago, and many more showed the program to friends on video. We have heard from tens of thousands of people who responded to the Gospel in the last three weeks as a result of this broadcast. I trust you will make the most of this special opportunity.

Thankfulness – Day 20 – Christian Men and Women

Today, I want to thank God for all the many Christian men and women who have influenced my life.  Some were connected through church, but others through their profession.  Some are living, but some are no longer living.  Some were relatives, but some were not.  Some were church leaders, but others were not. Some influenced my life when I was a child, but some influenced me during my adult years. The thing they all had in common was that they made a difference in my life – my life here on earth and for eternity!

Reminder – It’s not too late to pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child.

Have a blessed day!
